My first Flying Egale cent and one more LC from the corn feild.

[Helix]

I have not be out much this summer, last outing was around the 4th of July. Anyway figured I would get back to a site I know has some age for my area but couple times I was there never found much. Dug a 1858 flying eagle cent, that's a first for me! picked up some random glass shards, piece of pipe stem and a 1850 LC. My 4th Lc for the year and have not been out half dozen times. Also found a really cool and large flat button, at first I thought I had a very worn seated quarter, oh well. Nice to get back at it, getting close to the time of the year when I start hitting it hard. Flying Eagle cent. The Large cent if you can spot the rim is still in the clump of dirt. This is the large flat button the was basically sticking out of the ground. Group photos..

Yeah I pretty much try and only hunt sites or areas that only seen activity prior to 1900.

Give those coppers an olive oil bath. Will definitely help them with more detail. The flying eagle looks great and has great detail potential!

I don't want to tell all my logic behind it but Illinois or most State in the mid west are full of old site, long forgotten out in farm fields.

What got me on edge was my buddy and myself finding the Reals early this year. Oh man as far as a " bucket list " U.S. coin currency from 1800- today.. Not many left, I need a 20 cent quarter, Gold coin witch I have never found.. So if I find all these coins on my "Bucket List" these means I am closer to dying or something LOL!! I don't believe in that Mumbo jumbo..

Congrats on the FE . I know your excitement, I just dug my first last month

glad your eagle landed, they are a rush to see in a hole

Nice finds. For me it begs the question: how much rarer is it to find a Flying Eagle than a LC? I've found a ****ton of large coppers but never a FE. A friend I took to a spot of mine found one but never for me. Dunno.

I'm jealous and I'm glad you scored some great finds.
