Hunting with the vista relic and got a 1857 flying eagle cent!

I don't have pics yet but will have a little later its pretty toasty at the moment, when first dug i saw one cent on the back and i was thinking indian head penny which i was fine with that but after cleaning it a little i could see in the bright light the image of a eagle and a 7 on the edge of the date and since they were only 3 years in the making so i pretty happy to say the least, there's alot of detectorists that go years without ever finding one!

Use a Vista RG 750 on occasion..Coil too big for trashy yards... Where do you disc out nickels with your machine? And , in air, distance on a nickel...I'm snowed with Christmas Carving, but hope to be using my machine in the woods looking for Indian copper

the way the RELIC works is ferrous disc out or all iron non ferrous no disc so you can full disc if you know of big iron and stil keep your nickels and also anything round of a coin size it will beep at you steel washers too, the vista gold works this way as well except 2 tone all metal feature and both have boost modes!
