Knocked another 1800s coin off my bucket list!

First here's the video



I found these coins at the oldest park in the city (the only old park really)! This place gets absolutely pounded as a result, almost every time I go I see other people swinging a detector there. Still manage to pull out good coins, and today I got my first 1800s coin from that place!

And here are the pics!

Unfortunately the thing has already been brushed with soapy water and is completely clean. That's all surface damage from years of being underground. I can't even get a day off it but I'm still thrilled to have found it!

Thanks! For my videos and all of the pictures here except for the FE, I used my phone (Razr Maxx HD)

For the Flying Eagle (and most of my pictures in other posts), I have a little rig in my basement and use my digital SLR.

Well at the time he asked where I found my stuff I had only known him for about 2 minutes so I was sorta caught off guard. I do feel bad but he had a great hunt today regardless. I talked to him again and actually fessed up and he just laughed and said he's been hitting the place for almost a decade and had been everywhere anyway :P

I'm absolutely thrilled about the flying eagle, there aren't that many of them out there! I'm having an absolutely awesome year with the new detector.

By the way I put some olive oil over the FE and am pretty sure I can see a 7 so I guess that makes it an 1857!

I upgraded to an AT Pro this year and have really been killing it this year. I'm finding a ton of things in the trashy old park that people seem to miss.

Nice..

Nice finds, I would have told him I found it somewhere else too. I just recently had some lurker PM me asking me secret questions about where I hunt. I know the guy finds great stuff so when I turned it around and asked him where he was hunting he never told me. I would have taken him with me had he been willing to share, just obvious that he was just pumping me for his own gain. The next day I went to the WMA he was asking me about and found a 1942 Merc
