Flying Eagle Cent (WooHoo!!!), V Nickel, Merc, and More!

[JimBeHuntin']

After this past Sunday's hunt I was able to mark another coin from the old wish list ... my first Flying Eagle Cent. She's rough but recognizable and I'm thrilled with it! I found it at my old country store site along with a rough V nickel and six marbles (I love finding marbles). We had to move on from this site early because it was just too muddy but I'll be back. My buddy and I hunted a few more old sites where I found a 1926 Mercury Dime, a rough wheat cent, a nice pocket watch (gold plated?), and a few other odds and ends. My buddy's best find was a gold Masonic ring that was way cool. We had a great day of hunting and I was pleased with my finds. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy

Congrats on your Fleagle. They are not easy to come by, and almost always are in the same condition as yours.

I only have one...

I keep telling people, if you are not digging the pull tab and shotgun shell signals, you will never dig a Flying Eagle

Lot of good finds there. HH

You guys really do have a great range of finds over there.
Now I am going to go out tomorrow and get some books on American coins to work out what "wheat" and all the rest of the terms you guys use means . Seriously, being this side of the pond and having a different currency, I keep having to Google the stuff you find to understand it's importance. And what nice stuff you DO find .

Anyway Jim, Really nice finds and Happy Thanksgiving (if I'm not too late)
