I got a call from a farmer friend that lost his steel fence post, I went out there several weeks back to look, as it turns out the post was a wooden one that had been broken off, he called me yesterday asking me if I would walk his fence line with my detector to look for some more steel posts, he was quite happy I came out to look, as it turns out the weeds are three feet tall, they are going to plow soon so it will be a lot easier to swing the coil. He and his wife spoke about some old stone houses that were in the area, they drove me around to get permission for a couple of the sites, they stopped by this one place, the land owner new them and he said go ahead. The other places they are going to call to get the okay for me, it does not get much better than that. Here is one coin from the one site, I only had twenty minutes to spare, I am not sure how hard these coins are to find, this is my third in twenty years, two 58s, one 57, interesting coins for sure, I wish it were the 56.

The farmer is doing all the contacting of others? Reminds me the old "party line" telephones...........
Great looking (rare to find) Flying Eagle!! Yeah, a '56 would have been sweet...........
 

Congrats on another Flying Eagle Cent! As far as I'm concerned they're plenty hard enough to find. Haven't found one myself yet although I'm always looking! :icon_thumright:
 

Uh.... "not sure how hard they are to find...." "...Third in twenty years..." I think you answered your own question and succeeded in making a lot of us even more envious!! Three!! Dang... nice. I'll be sure to skip over your posts for a while so as not to cause any further irregular heart palpitations....

Congratulation on the FE cent! :notworthy:
 

Great find brian I like the plastic coin holders a coin guy told me a story of someone who was selling a really nice coin and scratched it with a staple when he was removing it to show him. That made me switch to plastic just a thought
great coin Thanks for sharing your sweet find!!!!!!!!
 

Up date. The farmer called tonight to let me know they got me two more sites to check out, maybe three, they maid my night.
 

Congrats on your third FF!! I still haven't found my first so it's plenty rare for me. Lol
 

That Flying Eagle is in better shape than the ones I have found here in the U.S. You guys must have some real good dirt up there !
