Old Shoe Factory nets me my my first flying and pinned eagle !

[MaineRelic]

The rain let up a little this afternoon and I was feeling a bit cooped up so I said what the heck grabed my rain gear and my M. D. and decided to take a little walk down to where the old shoe factory used to be . All of a 2 minute walk from my house . I had hunted there before when I first got my detector but did not have much success.It is a very trashy site and I was just learning my machine ! I have a lot better feel for my machine now than I did when I started on it 2 years ago ! I can pick out a few coin signals amonst the trash now. I have also learned to SLOOOOOW ! down in a trashy area ! Anyways, I found my first flying eagle today ! I was beginning to think they were mythical creatures I also found my first eagle pin ! No marks on the pin so I do not believe it is miitary ?? 4 wheaties , and a few other finds ! Thanks for looking !! MaineRelic

interesting (metal?) sole there. all my search results for "iver johnson" came up weapons related. i wonder if the shoe business proved to be less lucrative...

Now that's what I call a very nice day out detecting, even in the rain!

WTg on finding that FE amongst the trash What's the shoe sole looking thing?? I see you found a bunch of those organ thingy's that I used to wonder what they were. I always find them at old sites.
