1858 Flying Eagle with help from my 5 year old

[toasted]

Found one of my nicer FE cents and a few other bits at one of my pounded sites today. My sons like to come sometimes and help with the digging and pinpointing. All the low hanging fruit is gone from most of my sites so giving them a detector would be pointless. Thats what the modern parks and schools are for. Plenty of shallow high tones there though most of those were hit pretty hard when I started in 2015. Lol. Probably why they prefer to go fishing/crabbing

Congrats on the Flying Eagle they sure don't come out looking like that very often

Sweet find! Try swapping roles each time you go. I've found my son loves to do the finding and letting me do the pinpointing. Congrats on sharing this hobby with your kids. They'll thank you for it later!

The flying eagle cent you two found is truly nice.

Love the patina on that old FE Cent. I am so glad I got me one last year. May be a long time before or if I get another one. Very cool old coin. Taking your son along for the experience, super cool!
