Last few hunts and a FLYING first for me!

I haven't posted in a while but decided to post a few odds and ends from my last few hunts. I only got out to hunt a handful of times last year with dismal results because I was so wrapped up with work but I have decided to allow much more time for detecting this year. Hello to you guys who I haven't spoken with in a while and all the newer members. I went back to my usual door-knocking the first hunt or two with minimal results and decided to drive around. I happened across an old park that turned out to be from the mid to late 1800's (old for my part of the country) and decided to give it a go. My very first dig within 10 mins detecting was a deep injun. I soon realized this old park had been cherry picked of high dig-me tones but was loaded with mid to low tones. So I continued to pop injuns, a few wheats, a few missed silver, a ton of old costume jewelry, an injun flattened on the RR tracks that ran by there even back then, other odds and ends, and a first for me: a 1858 Flying Eagle Cent! It's not in the best of shape but is about as old of a find as we come across in the Midwest. It came in slightly higher than a nickel but that's what I had my hopes up for. What a surprise for me. Anyhow, if any local cherry pickers are reading this, can you please point me out the rest of your cherry picked sites, I really had a great time digging all those skipped over injun and lower tones. :yo: Thanks all and HH this year, JJ

Hey welcome back JJ. Its been a while since you been around.
Boy you sure cleaned up on that hunt for sure. Congrats on your first Flyer and boy are those Indians in nice shape.

Hey Guy, nice finds ! That FE is in better shape than you realize. They're usually pretty toasted out this way in New England.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Mike, the token is a James E Pepper Whiskey token and I don't think its too old. Jeff, these injuns are the reason I quit using hot peroxide to remove gunk a while ago. Because I'm a terrible lifeguard when they're in the pool and I end up with brand new 100+ year old coins. Back to just rinsing them off in water to remove dirt. Thanks again for the replies fellas, JJ
