"Two Eagles in One Day"! One is a Flying Eagle Penny 1858, second one this year

Hi guys and gals,

Well guess what they are doing here in NW Ohio? They are starting
to work the fields again for winter. Yah! As you can see from the pictures
I had a pretty good day today.

Started off in the water, not to good their. Did find the 445 Air Wing token
from Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio in the water. Other than that only found one
toe ring and a couple of cheap necklaces.

On the way home I spotted a worked field that I have been keeping my eye on.
They finally worked the field today and off tot he races we go for this fall.

I called my buddy and we went hunting in the field. We called it a day at 7:30 P.M.

As you can see I found some really neat stuff. I guess the best thing to come out
of the field today was the 1858 Flying Eagle Penny. As you can see from the pics
I really had a better day in the field than in the water. The other Eagle I found was a
Eagle Button.

Going back in the morning and hunt the field in a different direction. My buddy
and I are using the ACE 250. For those guys who are using a ACE 250 the Eagle
penny had a sound on the machine that was real dull, I thought it was a nickel when
I heard it, but in a field like this I dig all signals.

My buddy found just as much as I did, except for the flying eagle penny. But in july he
found two flying eagle pennies in the same yard, the same day. How lucky is that?

Well HH, Ringfinder

Great finds. That Flying eagle is just sweet.
So tell me this...you hunt plowed fields? Is there some history behind these fields or were therebuildings there at one time?

Hey Gypsyheart, I guess I forgot to tell you all, that this was an
old one room school house site. My partner and I hunted it early
this spring and did very well here. I think my partner got a 3 cent
'piece out of the site the spring. They had oats in the field so it was
one of the early fields worked up this late summer.

If you hunters go to the libraries. You can find local maps from the 1860's
or earlier, depending where you live. A school was built every two miles.
MMMMMMMMMMM wonder how many old one room school houses where
built in the early 1800's?

Finding a FE cent is not all that common. Yours looks to be a nice one.
WTG!
