    My July finds. Flying Eagle!

    I have already showed a couple of my finds from this month but here are the rest of them. I made some quality finds in July.

    The Flying Eagle came one evening when I decided to go behind my house to a field permission that I just keep hammering. The wheat was harvested so I could detect it again. I worked the iron patch and came across a 15 signal on the Equinox. It is my first one and as they typically are this one is very toasty. I had to scratch it to reveal the date which I think is an 1857.

    My unexpected find of the month was next to a target I was about to dig, its a section of paper bill will a date of 1949 on it. I wonder if it was a silver certificate?

    Great finds Jared! Can you believe I have never found a FEC or even a fattie Indian for that matter? You got some good coins this month. I like the pencil looking thing. Is that a black stone on the end of it? The thimble looks like it says Forget me not. Maybe a WW2 sweetheart memento? Also, Have you determined what bill that torn piece paper is off of yet? Thanks for sharing and HH, Dave.

    Thanks! Fatties and FE are hard to come by. 15 on the Equinox and around a 12-24 on the Etrac...oh wait you no longer use that machine. The pencil is pretty old I think...maybe 100 years old? It has a blue stone in it (thinking its glass). I have not bothered to figure out what that torn bill was yet. The thimble does say "Forget me Not" on it so you might be right about it being a WW2 sweetheart momento. I see you have changed your avatar for the 12th time this year! Killing it!

    How about it?!

    Now, as for your month Jared...
    I see a double bucket lister sitting dead center of your silver pile. A half dime and a seated with arrows.
    She's a beauty!! And I've still yet to find a flying eagle.
    Great month!
    Congrats!

    That 1900 Canadian cent is PRISTINE! I've dug several of those but none anywhere close to as nice as that one. Congrats on some amazing finds!
