1700s Irish / 1903 IH / Flying Eagle / Ornate Keyhole Cover and Cool Thimble

[AQUA]

HEY GUYS AND GALS

This is a combined 3 hunts....8 hrs total.

Out yesterday morning for the low water ...wind outta the Nortwest 40 knots -4c and snow...miserable. Went to a new spot but not much luck but I did pick up the nice thimble....my first ornate thimble. Was few musket balls there that indicated some age. Went home for some hot dinner and back out to try where I found 20+ coins last year in hopes that the frost moved a few around....was too much snow in most of that spot but still managed to pull out the 1903 Indian Head in nice shape and the key hole cover.

Then back out for the low water again this morning -2c little bit of wind and light snow......Ed decided not to go today so I went back to the spot where I got my US Half Dollar....thought maybe there might be a decent find there somewhere....went very slow and thorough.

And the spot gave up 4 coppers :

2 blanks
1 1766-86 Irish half penny
1 flying eagle

The flying eagle is encrusted and very hard to get off. These coins are usually in very bad shape when dug...I,ve dug 2 before anf they are horrible shape...barely recognizable ....this one seems to be very good shape on the flying eagle side...would really like to save it.

ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO BEST GET IT OFF ?

Good call IP...and won't I let him hear about it :-)
Just gotta find some good stuff to brag about!

You will find 4 pop cans ...8 rusty nails .....2 condom wrappers and a old pice of shovel (the one you broke last time )...then you will proceed to break another shovel.

But GLGL !!!

I consider condom wrappers to be a banner find! It's too bad more people in this country don't use them so I can stop supporting all their kids:-)
Oops that prob wasn't politically correct. Should be able to hunt all day Sunday. Maybe a bit tomorrow

Great hunt, Aqua. Ooooh, the thaw is coming. You are going to kill it. (You already are, but you know what I mean...)

Nice finds!
