1857 Flying Eagle from the cornfield, with Video!

Today I met up with Kyle (Nooberz) for some field hunting, started off with 22 degrees and frozen hard ground! We literally had to chip away at the dirt with our lesche's shovel were almost worthless to start. Finally it slowly warmed up and the sun came out about 11am. The first field I got 2 flat button and that was it, basically no conductive signals at all. On to the second field site where I got the 2 piece button, looks like it has a dog head on it, can anyone tell me anything from the backmark? I only got that button and a couple pieces of scrap, another signal-less field. Kyle nabbed a large copper there and that was the only coin found in that field.

We then went to the 3rd field, by now it was around 30 degrees and the sun was starting to warm us up, much appreciated. I got a solid 12-24 screaming at me, and less than a 1/2 inch deep..... I found a coin, I thought I had a fatty indian when I saw the one cent on the back, but when I flipped it over and saw the eagle and the date I knew I had a flying eagle! This is my 5th flying eagle cent now in 6 yrs of detecting, made my day, as this turned out being the ONLY coin I found! Kyle got another largie at this site and couple indians, just wasn't my day for coins, so sure glad the only one I dug was a GOOD one!

Yesterday I hit a new field I recently got permission for, zero coins, zero buttons found, I hunted it for 3 hours, and here is all I have to show for it, I like finding crotal bells so at least I got 2 keepers for my efforts.

Today I went to a tiny yard after work, my buddy just moved to a different house and his lot was about the size of my living room, lol. I used my 6x8 coil and went over it in 2 directions and was still done in an hour. Got 5 wheats, one silver rosie, bit of clad and 2 match box cars......once again nothing special, but always a bonus to be able to hunt in Ohio during February.
