LC...Some Cool Relic's and a Flying Eagle.....For Real!!!

Man this place is Hopping!!!.....I was supposed to meet Ty at the 1700's house this morning at 5:00am sharp ;D (snooze button) at least I made it up there by 6:15.Today we decided to work the garden area,this place is huge,I would guess close to an acre!Started swinging and about halfway down the side I was working hit a solid 80,no matter which way I worked it,it didn't budge,solid 80 @ 3".I was figuring on something else and then this baby show's up....A No-Date LC >:(....I'll take it,I haven't found one yet with a date.Came out of the garden with a flat button and some other piece's.Took a couple break's here and there and on the last "run" I hit a Lion's head right in front of the house in the hardest packed gravel you would ever want to deal with,took me 15 min.'s to dig this out at 7"'s.Moved around to the back where I found the "Fatty 1864" last weekend and got my last hit of the day.....4-5"'s down another lookin' fatty come's out....Not so!! This was a 1857 Flying Eagle my Friend's....I'm pretty much wore out and "PUMPED" for the day at the same time.Thank's for lookin',more pic's after these....

That is one good site for hunting, what does the backside of the Lion look like? Always nice finding a Flying Eagle cent, congrats on that and hopefully your next Large Cent will have a big fat date on it! :)

Keep @ it and HH!!
 

Re: LC...Some Cool Relic's and a Flying Eagle.....For Real!!!

Man oh man, Joe!
I thought the large cent would be your find for the day,
Then the lions' head, But not you. You had to go out in
a blaze of glory with that *)&%&( beauty of a flying
eagle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see that you didn't tell the part about us praying for
it to be a 1856. LOL
Great day man, glad we got a chance to get together again.
