Anyone know what numbers ring up on a flying eagle cent?

[bigtim1973]

Was curious if anyone knows or has dug a flying eagle cent and what numbers the manticore will ID it with?

I have dug some Indian head pennies and they ring up like 54 to 58. I use all terrain general with full tones.

I have watched a few guys on YouTube that have dug some Indian head pennies and they seem to come up in the 60s.

So I tried High conductor, low conductor on an IHP and they all do still ring up on the 50s on my manticore.

Also anyone have a flying eagle cent that can tell me what the VDI numbers are? Thanks!!

I do not have the Manticore, but since no one else has replied yet,
I decided to try to help you out.
I have an 1858 Flying Eagle cent that my Dad found in change many years ago.
I tested it with my XTerra Pro with the 5x8 coil on it and also checked it with my 800 with the 5x10 coiltek coil on it.
Here are the results:
XTerra Pro set at 15 kHz…….43/44
800 in multifrequency…..16
These results kind of surprised me as my 800 general ID’s IH’s at 20 which is about the same TID as a zinc penny, but I believe I did find an 1859 IH that read 16 and thought it was going to be button.
I have not found any iH’s with the Pro yet, but I do know zinc Pennie’s read much higher than this coin did on it.

I had the Equinox 900 and I found IH’s registering in the 50’s specifically 54 or 56. I hope this helps.

Thanks that gets me in the neighborhood at least! So cool your dad found that in his change too!!

Yes that's about what I was getting as well. Thank you very much. It sounds about the same as the manticore too

Felix, I'm surprised it registers that low. What's the range on the 800?

Me too John….
The range on the 800 only goes up to 40 whereas the newer Equinox series goes up to 99….same as my XTerra Pro.

 

[casull454]

I did not know that the range only went to 40. I think my old Xterra 70 went to 48 and just assumed that the 800 went at least that high if not higher. Learn something every day.

39 on all settings as Minelab has normalized ID readings!

Ok so my curiosity got the best of me the past few days. I went to my local jewelry store. A few years ago they started a small coin section and have a decent little variety now. They happened to have about 4 flying eagle cents. I bought the cheapest one they had. 24 bucks!! Yikes...but after I looked on the big auction site, the one I bought was in better shape than what they are selling them for on there at a higher price.

So I felt pretty good about that.

So I turned on my manticore and swung it over the coil and it came up 42. The same numbers that fwcrawford got on his Xterra pro!!

Imagine that!

I ran it in all terrain general just like I would go out and do normal detecting with at an old site.

I did try it on low conductor and also high conductor and the numbers were within the same range on an air test hovering around 41 to 44.

In case anyone is curious I also ran my 3 cent silver time over the coil and it rang up
54 to 56 in all terrain general. I thought it would have rang up a little higher. So they kind of come in about the same number range as Indian head pennies do.

I red online that flying eagle cents are a copper and nickle alloy. Maybe that's why they ring up kind of low

It is also thicker than a wheat penny. Kind of like the first Indian head pennies they refer to as fattys.

I never had one before so this was all new to me on the flying eagle cents.

FYI.....I bought the 3 cent trime a while back....I did not dig it up.

Anyways just thought I would share what I found out today!! HH Tim

Interesting yours came up a few ticks higher than the 39 I posted that my last dug flying eagle read. Shouldn't make any difference what settings you change to as Minelab's ID doesn't change like some competitors do. The terminology is called "normalized"

Yes normalization keeps all the numbers fixed to a certain base frequency.

I noticed on the YouTube channel called Weird Guy In Park that his Indian head pennies ring up in the 60s before he dug them. The ones I have dug up all rang up in the 50s...like 53 to 55. I have mild ground where I detect here in Tennessee. I don't know what his soil is like but he is in Oregon.
