First Flying Eagle + 3 more LCs more relics from the summer kitchen excavation

[deepsecrets]

Wow - had a great day in the dirt. The 20x20 area is just loaded with iron, nails, pieces of cast iron, more nails! But the new 5x8 coil I got for the ATP is amazing for getting through all of the junk. Scored an 1858 Flying Eagle Cent and 3 more large cents (1822, 1840, 1841) - that makes 6 total so far, 1925 wheat and...an eagle shield button. Some horse tack related pieces - engraved floral rosette and some brass rivets with leather still attached. Small ring, watch key and jaw harp. I'll have to take a picture of all the iron we've recovered - lot of it is late 1700's/early 1800s.

Lots of good finds there. That could be a textbook pic of what we look for. Nice job!

Three large cents and a flying eagle. If you had found some silver I might have given you a banner nod. Go back and find some. Nice hunt

Awesome..

That's a great day. I've found an 1856 LC and a 1860IHp but nothing in between. Even though there were healthy mintage amounts of FEC's, congrats on finding a coin from a finite time period. Also, LC's are always a treat - congrats

Large cents are great but Flying Eagle Cents are rare.
Excellent hunt.

Congrats on your first Flying Eagle. From the pics, it looks like you found a great place to hunt.

Great finds.

Any marks on the spoon?

 

[Loco-Digger]

That was a stellar hunt. I am drooling over the finds you pulled. Congrats on the rare find.

Super spot you've found there. If its all in a 20x20 area, I'd be tempted to start clearing out the iron foot by foot. Who knows what may be lurking under a nail.

Thanks all! I appreciate the great comments on this post. Here are photos of the area I've been digging and some of the bigger iron pulled out. More to find in this spot I'm sure. Cheers!!
