Found a bucket lister today!

[history hunter]

I went out to search for a new park to hunt today. I was trying to find a silver coin because I've been out about 7 times here in Wisconsin and have not had luck with the silver. Well, I got a silver 1951 washington and felt happy. Then towards the end of the hunt I got a 15.. 16 on the nox and dug down about 9" and started pulling out wire and nails, then saw a penny laying out of the hole in the dirt. When I wiped it off, i thought it was a token or something, then realized what it was and it looked almost new! I finally found a flying eagle cent after 52 years of Treasure hunting and saved history!!

Those are tough coins to find having only been made for such a short period of time.
I find half a dozen IH's every year here in Ontario, but I've only found one '57 Flying Eagle Cent.

Congrats,
Dave

That beauty looks like it came out of a coin roll, not the ground- awesome!

Congrats on your first Flying Eagle. That is without a doubt, a very tough coin to find. I have found only one, in 32 years of swinging a detector. Mine was also an 1857. Great find.

Great looking FE. I have been swinging for 49 yrs. and have yet to find one. Maybe there's hope for me yet. LOL. A big congrats.
