Not 1, but TWO flying eagle pennies!

A few decent finds... highlight of the day... not 1, but TWO flying eagle pennies. I also got 2 large cents and a candle stick holder from the 1700s.

wow, not sure I've ever seen a FE cent pocket spill! That's a nice haul! My one FE cent this year sounded like a pull tab too. Shhhhh... it'll be our little secret

Congrats , enjoyed the vid . New England cellar holes are definitely easier to locate compared to some of South Jersey's cheesey built colonial cellars ... there are more stones of variable size and shapes that are available to build with North of the Hudson River and West of the Delaware River .

Two Flying Eagles ! Two are Great but an 1856 would be a miraculous discovery

Thanks for the kind words. They are both 1858. I was shocked when i rechecked the hole and heard the same signal.

They came up as pulltabs so dig those pulltab signsls or you will never find one

 

[nsdq]

Nice! Can you see the dates? Might have a 1856 there!

Good advice Sean , I find them at places where otherdiggers have disc. them out .. 88 % copper / 12% nickel .. dig the pull tab signals for the first small cents is an accurate observation .. proud to say I have found one , actually { chance to boast} i have dug 11 flying eagles .. mostly 58's like yours , a two 57's in one hole at an old school built in 1819 and 8-- 1859 to 1864 early indianheads in my years detecting .. NO 1856 but hey what's ya gonna dooo try turning your disc OFF for some deep faint sounding coins . Many more !!
