Oldest cents you have found in circulation

[Guest]

My oldest Lincoln penny is a 1909-VDB. I've also found 1893 and 1900 Indian head pennies. Has anybody found a flying eagle cent in circulation? That would be quite the find.

My brother found a 1795 large cent with his metal detector. (and many other large cents and half cents, but that was the oldest.) Not exactly circulation, but found and not bought.
