Old nickels and a nice Flying Eagle
It is so nice to be able to go out detecting again after the long winter. Most of these finds came during my lunch breaks at various parks nearby my work. I started March with 42 wheats before finding a silver coin...kind of an aggravating stretch. The 3 war nickels came in one hunt last Friday.
Then on Saturday I braved the snow and rain and went to a very old park and even though I lasted only 3 hours because of the snow I was pretty happy with my finds. I found an Excelsior Eagle button (from the very late 1800's likely), a Navy button that has an iron back to it, a flag pin with a screw post on the back that I am thinking might be military related but not sure, an 1882 indian and a really nice 1858 Flying Eagle with a hole in it. The arrowhead came from a field site behind my house that I have hammered over the years.
