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.

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