Flying Eagles on last Sunday's hunt

[coinnut]

This was last Sunday's hunt at a colonial cellar hole. Had a heart test with the half dollar and quarter (same hole), but no heart attack followed!!! But I was hoping, since we were at a real old colonial site, that the half would be a Bust or Seated, but I'll take silver any way I can get it. Two Flying Eagles showed up at different locations. That's a first for me, since I have never found 2 in one hunt! A good day over all even though it was 90 degrees outside

Hey, I was using a DFX and they read real low (around 25-30) which in other detector talk is pull tab area. I was surprised that they were coins. The copper nickle composition, along with the mineralisation, makes them read like pull tabs. But in a colonial setting, pull tab readings are buttons and I guess Flying Eagles too.

wow - that could cause a stroke - at least a reason to wear Depends.

Nice haul - WTG!

Cool on the Silver half. I could count on one hand the silver half's I've ever found. Hard to loose a half dollar + looks like shiny man hole cover on the ground! You did great!

Hey Ghost, I'll have to relook the posts for your Flying Eagle. You are right, they don't come around too often. I have maybe 3 before the last two, and that's in about 10 years of cellar hole hunting!!! I can't wait for Sunday so I can fail miserably

Great finds in that cellar hole!
