I got out again for another all day hunt with my dad and uncle today. It was another great day swingin' the MD. We hit the same spots as in my last post and they are still producing. The first spot,(the big field in back of a school), I found a 1928 buffalo nickel and a 1918 Merc in the same hole. I also found an 1825 LC! It is worn smooth, but I love diggin' those LC's. I too ended up with 3 wheaties. My dad and uncle found some wheaties here. The next spot we went to was the old abandoned park. I found an amazing 1857 flying eagle cent. This coin is in great shape. It is not pitted at all. All I did was rinse it off with water. Any ideas on how to clean it? I'm scared to use peroxide. I also found a 1900 barber dime, 1903 V nickel and 2 IH's(1901, 1905). My dad found a great 1905 Canadian 5 cent and an 1887 IH. My uncle found an 1884 IH. Thanks for looking! Happy hunting!

That is a great assortment of coins! I am still waiting on my first flying eagle and yours is one of the best ones I have seen posted. I have found 10 fatty IHP's this year so I am knocking on the door to finding one sooner or later (hopefully sooner). Nice digs!

Don't forget that the flying eagle has a fair amount of nickel in it, so no chemicals!
Trust me. I ruined my first one, but I luckily had two back ups.

Thanks for the replies and advise everyone. I kinda thought I should not use peroxide. I definatlely want to clean this one right. I ruined the only other one I found. This one should clean up very nice if I do it right. Thanks again and keep those coils on the ground!

That 1857 is in real nice shape. Lots of detail. Peroxide is all I use. As long as it's not heated to an extreme boil the coin should come out nice. Just my opinion. GREAT finds! Hogge  |

Thanks Goes4ever. All I did was let it soak in distilled water for a while, then I used a toothpick to get the dirt and little corrosion off. I was pleased with the results. Happy Hunting! |

Great finds bro, once again i wish i could have been there. I got a lot done on the camp this weekend though so hopefully it will be finished up soon, all i have left is to board up and shingle the roof, then put the doors and windows in. Wish i could have been out there dirt fishin with the crew though! That Flying Eagle is in amazing shape for coming out of the ground here in Maine! must have been a dry area! Keep your coil to the ground! Happy Dirt Fishing!

Frenchy,
Outstanding FE cent!! It would be great if you could post an updated photo after cleaning. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like another look at that great coin.
Your posts are always fun to read.

Thanks Goes4ever. All I did was let it soak in distilled water for a while, then I used a toothpick to get the dirt and little corrosion off. I was pleased with the results. Happy Hunting! For coins that look like the patina is solid, I use this method as well. It takes a while, and some attention to detail (or maybe even a magnifying glass), but it is worth it. Great job! |

Thanks for the replies again. I'm actually going to get the FE slabbed. It has got the best detail I have ever seen on one. I contacted ICG and they said they could touch up my cleaning job and grade and slab it for me. I'll post pics after I get it back.
