Penny Trifecta, wheats, 3 LARGE CENTS and FLYING EAGLE!!!!!!

[Goes4ever]

ok guys I am having a hard time calming down, I just had the best day in a field EVER!!!!!

First I dug a 1917 wheat, then I got a large cent, sweet my 2nd ever LC.

Then I dug a 1857 flying eagle!!!! BUT.........it was holed, right in the middle!!!!!! Can you believe my luck!!!
I am still pumped, it is a one of a kind Flying Eagle. That made my penny trifecta.

Then I got another wheat cent, which was the 500th wheat of the year!

My hunting partner Charlie got a sweet 1863 store card token, pics on my video, it is a cool find. We weren't finding much more so we moved down to the next homesite, .........the 1st good signal was a #44 on my x-70, I was praying...PLEASE GOD let this be a silver half dollar!

Well I dug done and found my 2nd large cent of the day, this is unreal, I was doing the happy dance. Did my video, then re-scanned the hole. Would you believe I got a strong signal in the hole, and it was a 3rd large cent?!!!! 2 LARGE CENTS IN ONE HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on cloud nine.............3 large cents in one day.......in NW OHIO, that is almost unheard of. This is just my best day in the field EVER!!!!!

3 large cents..........
Flying eagle, even with the hole I am happy
and my 500th wheat for the year!!!!!
here is the youtube video!!!

Congrats G4E. Terrific set of coins you found. I'm still hunting for my first Flying Eagle. And at this point in time, I would gladly settle for one with a hole in it! Congrats again. HH Randy

Congrats on thr 3 LG's and that Flying Eagle! Just an awesome hunt! I Would love to find either one of them! The Flying eagle had such a short run as a coin. Very hard to find, you did great, Beale.

Don't you just love those days where the unexpected shows up. One of the big attractions of the hobby.
Thar's the first flying eagle that I've seen someone on the forum find! Prior to that, I've only ever seen a picture of one in a book so congratulations on such a great find and well done on increasing your large cent finds.

Awesome finds, congrats!!! Man, you sure have done well this year, I remember when you first joined the forum and were posting questions about your machine and it's operation. You have come a long, long way sir! One hundred silvers, tokens, old coppers.... WOW!

Nice work!
Mike

Looks to have been a good day.
To bad that Flyer was holed.

Brings back to memory a time 20 years ago; I put a hole in a penny becuse it was the exact right size for the washer I needed. Who knew that someday it could be worth real money. Well mabey thats why yours is holed.

Nice finds
Jeff

Great finds. A day like that will be hard for you to top, but there is still plenty more out there.

 

[Coinguy56]

Very nice LG Cents! I nearly got stunned when I saw the large cents and flying eagle, that was a awesome hunt.
Very huge congrats on your 3 lareg cents and flying eagle, and 500th Wheat of the year!

Great finds! Its too bad what the ground can do to those copper coins, the large cents are very beautiful if youv ever seen one in collectors condition.
