Talk about the spot that keeps on giving.....My 1st dug Flying Eagle cent

[UnEarthed72]

Went on a few hour hunt today with Val aka.Disciple,she called me saying where are you(i slept in lol)my bad...25 minutes later i was there.She found some good nickles including a Buffalo,cant remember what else she may have found right now,but my finds are below and got an AWSOME FIRST i was pretty stoked with that find lemme tell ya!! Enjoy.

a piece of old pottery i found while digging a signal(pretty recognizable pattern)


The coins i ended up with .73cents in clad 2 nickles a 40,57 one 45 wheatie..a whats it(maybe a coin dunno yet..size/shape of a penny)


And lastly 10 min. before we left i got a zinc/ring signal dug 3 and a half inches down i scored another first a sweet 1857 Flying Eagle cent Woooohhhoooo i was stoked..i thought about charging Val her Buff. nickle just to see it lol..j/k



I'll be the first to say this hobby is proving what my destiny is and i think its MD'ing I'm so fortunate to have been interested enough to begin MD'ing and it's definitely very rewarding.....All of the pics are uncleaned as of yet,when i clean the coins up i will re post those pics so you can see them

thanks for looking
Stay safe and HH

Congrats on a great coin.........and I know exactly what you mean regarding MD'ing........it's what we were cut out to do in addition to everything else we already do. I can see myself doing this until I am physically able to. WTG bro.

Dont clean it up too much. That patina from being in the ground actually increases the value of the coin.

Yea thanks for the tip...it actually has a green patina to it,and the only thing i did was to let it sit in a Lil oil for a bit until the crud falls off on its own.It's really in great shape but hard to see it with the pic quality
