Default 1858 Flying Eagle Cent & Relics
I went back to one of the civil war camps I'm hunting & found a 1858 flying eagle cent. This is the only the second one I've dug, It got me a little excited. The eagle button makes four for this place. The other stuff is just typical Union camp stuff. Anyway enjoy the pics TIM
