Flying eagle
Stoped on the flats on my way home from work today. found an old house site. the ground is very very trashy but was able to pull out a pewter spoon and a 1857 flying eagle cent in decent shape. Got it soaking in oil now should clean up nice. Well see in about a month.

oil
I like to get old coppers into olive oil as soon as possible. As soon as they come out of the ground they start to dry and degrade. I put them into a small tin with paper towels soaked in olive oil. this stops the green corosion from forming. When I get home I soak in oil in a small jar. it seems to harden the surface of the coin and the dirt and corosion comes off the coin. After about a month or 2 clean with dish soap and a toothbrush. Works pretty good.
Tim I got a 1858 last fall and the 1857 yesterday figure the 1856 will come next
