    Crossed one off the wish list today!!

    I got out for a few hours today with OxShoeDrew. We tested out a couple cellar holes in the next state over only to find that they have been hit pretty good. I did manage to find this one keeper and a first for me an 1857 Flying Eagle penny. thumbsup01 Thanks for looking. HH

    How about that!! Very cool find, Flying Eagle Cents don't turn up too often! It seems that they don't usually hold up too well in the ground, but yours doesn't look too bad. The date is nice and clear.

    Terrific find! I'm still looking for my first.

    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Re: Crossed one off the wish list today!!

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments. Been looking for this coin ever since i started detecting many moons ago. OxShoeDrew is to blame for my finding this coin. It was his research that led me to it. Thank you Drew.
