I have only found about five Indians in four years.They come up out of the ground when i dig everything.They give off a broken signal.The eagle came up as a quarter-bottle cap at 70 on my xlt
 

way to go! you dont see many flying eagles coming out of the ground. awesome!!
 

NIce finds. I found my first Flying Eagle cent a couple of yrs back. What a great
find, keep looking you just might find the ever elusive GOLD COIN.

I know how you feel about your coins, the way they come out of the ground. Here
in Ohio we have the same problem. Some of the Coins come out of the ground
in really great shape, but most of the older coins, especially the indian, wheaties,
V-nickels and 2 cent coins look like crap. They can't be cleaned because they
just get worse.

Thanks for the post and HH, Ringfinder
 

wow -- nice finds -- keep us updated -- to bad about the merc, but better 1/2 merc than no merc -- just be glad it wasn't a 1916D
 

Really great stuff today Hunter!!!

WoW!

:o
 

WTG......I wish my luck was that good. :'( Too bad about the condition....nothing can be done to clean it?

Happy Hunting,
Moon
 

Well even though the flying eagle is in bad shape it still rates as a major score! ;D ;D Cut merc is interesting.
