WOW!!! Eagles three diff. ways. FLYING, PERCHED, and with I'S on there chest!!!!
Hey guys,
I hhad one of my best days ever today. Hit this old house with my friend Bruce today. Twenty minutes in i get a solid quarter hit. Dig down and see a nice 1958 silver washington. I am stoked since its only my 4th quarter, as i recheck the hole i get a nice surpirse, another quarter this one 1956 in the same hole. First time i ever get two silver quarters in one hole. I move on and about an hr later i get a weird hit on my Whites. Dig down and its out, finally find it and at first i thought it was an old IH, thats was until i saw the eagle flying. Another first as i was looking at my first and only Flying eagle cent, 1858, in pretty good shape to. I was about to call it a day when my detecting parter convinced me to stay, boy was i glad i did. alittle while later i got another strang hit. This time the eagle wasnt on a coin but rather on a button. two feet away i dig his brother both are the size of a nickle, maybe alittle larger. And have I ( INfantry i guess) on there chests. There backmarks are "Young Smith & Co. New York" any info on these would be great. Both buttons are two piece. I checked Alberts and found a few with the same backmark so im not sure what they are. Hope the are CW as this would also be a first for me.
Thanks for lookin
Keith

Then, Flying Eagle Cents are rarely ever found with detectors 
Then, not only one but two ultra rare military buttons dating back to before the CW
