    Flying Eagle, LC and 10 silvers for May

    A very nice detecting month for me. I found another Flying Eagle at the same place I got one the month before. It is pretty cruddy but I will take it. Managed 2 completely toasted Indians that same hunt.

    My silvers for the month...

    My favorite find of the month was the 1823 LC I found a couple nights ago. It has been 3 years since I last found one and this one is a good. Well they are all good in my opinion but the 1823 is a rare date. Came at a spot I have hunted a 100 times and dug a penny signal that was showing 2 inches down but it was 4-5 inches and out popped a big coin. It was a fun rush. I probably have skipped that signal 10 times thinking it was just a shallow penny.

    A few cool relics including an interesting buckle thing. It looks very old but I am thinking late 1800's to early 1900's. The metal is very thin which makes me think it is not too old. What are your thoughts? There is a pin that is dated 1915 and states Playground and Recreation Association of America on the back of it.

    Great finds! I don't think I have seen many 1823's dug.

    Great month Jared! The rush digging the big coppers - it never gets old does it? I did 'em all the time and it certainly doesn't get old for me either.
