Silver, IH's, Flying Eagle, LC, wheats. UPDATE: After cleaning pics of Flying E

I got out again for another all day hunt with my dad and uncle today. It was another great day swingin' the MD. We hit the same spots as in my last post and they are still producing. The first spot,(the big field in back of a school), I found a 1928 buffalo nickel and a 1918 Merc in the same hole. I also found an 1825 LC! It is worn smooth, but I love diggin' those LC's. I too ended up with 3 wheaties. My dad and uncle found some wheaties here. The next spot we went to was the old abandoned park. I found an amazing 1857 flying eagle cent. This coin is in great shape. It is not pitted at all. All I did was rinse it off with water. Any ideas on how to clean it? I'm scared to use peroxide. I also found a 1900 barber dime, 1903 V nickel and 2 IH's(1901, 1905). My dad found a great 1905 Canadian 5 cent and an 1887 IH. My uncle found an 1884 IH. Thanks for looking! Happy hunting!

great find, love the F.E. great job cleaning it, how did you clean it?

Thanks Goes4ever. All I did was let it soak in distilled water for a while, then I used a toothpick to get the dirt and little corrosion off. I was pleased with the results. Happy Hunting!

For coins that look like the patina is solid, I use this method as well. It takes a while, and some attention to detail (or maybe even a magnifying glass), but it is worth it.


Great job!

Thanks for the replies again. I'm actually going to get the FE slabbed. It has got the best detail I have ever seen on one. I contacted ICG and they said they could touch up my cleaning job and grade and slab it for me. I'll post pics after I get it back.

That is a NICE flying eagle, especially for a dug one. I guess that Fisher 1225X is a good little machine.
