Hello all!

This recover target represent two dates...

Friday March 25, 2011... I got out for about 90 minutes after a long week at work :-)

This Trolley token was 4-5 and rang up as 12/34 12/35 on my Etrac... I was hoping for an Indian... but a neat old token was a welcome suprise :-)

This Barber rang in nice and clear in the 6-7 range... Yeah I clipped it :-(

This pencil sharpner was the last target as the light was fading fast... It was a 12/25 @ 8... It is stamped Made in Germany and the sharpner blade was with it..

Saturday March 26th... I spend about 5 1/2 hours at a new foundation...

The hunt started with a signal 15 minutes in... 12/24 12/25 @ 2-3...

I was not thinking coin at all... but a fatty popped right out... and I could see the back and the wreath... and NO shield so I knew it had to be an 1859 IH...

15 minutes later I got a 12/11 signal at the base of a tree @ 6... I was hoping for an early nickel :-)

What period is this Button?

Then it was a quite few hours... shotgun shells... and trash...

Then I moved into the barn foundation area... there were lots of surface junk... old large cables, iron that was rusting, etc... but as I moved towards the middle on the right I got a 12/24 @ 2-3...

Hello Mr. 1858 Flying Eagle... My first !! :-) but as you can see... the detail is in the build up on the coin.... much like that Indian... They both are pretty much toast :-(

60 minutes later I was seeking one more good target and was working between the barn and house foundation... This was a crazy signal like a large piece of big iron/metal near the surface... I almost did not dig it... but I'm glad I did :-)

Is this a wax seal ??

The Barber is awesome of course and I definitely like the trolley token and IH... but the Flying Eagle cent is the topper for sure. What an incredible find. You just don't see many of those posted.
Congrats on a great hunt Paul.

This is a new foundation... I was chatting with an old aqaintence and he learned about my interest in metal detecting and he meet me Saturday AM and guided me out to two new foundations for me... I have no idea if they have been worked before... The two coins and the seal were obvious targets but they are large areas and perhaps someone just left a few goodies for the next guy... me :-) *shrug*
 
All I can say is WOW Paul!!!!! Awesome finds my man!!!! That stamp is great,,,that button is great,,,that Flying Eagle cent is sweet!!!! Still looking for my first one of those,,,,,Simply AWESOME hunt <: <: <: <: <: <: <: <: <:
 
Awesome hunt my friend! Love the fatty and especially that Flying Eagle. That one's definitely on my list as well... And the stamp is pretty sweet too, though I do tend to gravitate towards those elusive coins :)

Hey, the barber's nice too! It's all nice!!!

Keep up the good work!
