Three Flying Eagles In Three Days

[tymcmurray]

I am by far, the luckiest relic hunter this week.
The house I have been hunting is FULL of garbage!!
Take a look at some of the stuff I had to dig to get to the
good relics.



Anyway, My last two posts
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,234614.0.html
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,234786.0.html
Had me reeling with great finds!!!
Joe and I hit the place again today, and I got the shock of digging
ANOTHER Flying Eagle, for a total of THREE in three days from the
same site!



I also got a 1902 Indian, a 1823 Coronet Head (Key date worth about $200),
and the usual brass odds and ends.





I know how lucky I am!!
The homeowner left out some family reunion photos from the 1800's to share.

Just seeing that tree grow was more than enough for me. 3 Flyer's? Crazy.

Great site, and great photos!! Good research pays off once again!

Those Flying Eagles are in nice shape. Mine are always badly corroded when I find them.

Congrats!!

3 flying Eagles in 3 days has to be a record! And banner worthy! Not to mention all the other coins & relics!
UNREAL!
Happy for you Big Man! Clean that place out!
I love the pics also!
I bet you think you're going to wake up & it's all a dream!

BANNER!

Thank Rob!
I pulled that last Eagle out and just looke at Joe in disbelief.
I'll take it, but it will be hard to top.

I am not sure what the composition of the FE's are,
but the Indians come out near perfect every time.
The Eagles, however, are a bit corroded.

It was in the back of my mind, but I surely didn't expect to get another one.
Thanks!

Joe got a 1857 last summer there and all of mine are '58's.
It would be nice to get just one more, but chances are slim.
But we will keep looking!

Ty! Great job on the "hat-trick" - finding one is fantastic, but three?! Outstanding for sure!


Have you had a chance to check if you have any "8 over 7" varieties yet?

I haven't cleaned them well enough to be able to tell. I will take them to a dealer
and let him tell me.

Fab finds and loved the house pics!

Apparently, the way to tell is to look for a small dot in the field above the first 8 - during production, the die was ground down until the 7 was invisible. Hope this helps...
