Friday, I went out for about an hour after work. I was able to dig a 1933 Chicago Worlds fair token.
Saturday, I went out in the afternoon and dug a 1954 Bank Token and a 1948-S Washington, a " Yellow Cab Co." Button and two bells.
Sunday, I got out for about 3 hours and dug a 1903 Indian and a 1912-S Barber Quarter and some kind of old buckle.
For the three days, I dug 17 wheats.

Congrats on the silver ! Needless to say... I love the Barber quarter !
This buckle is intriguing. I saw that you posted it for an ID. Hope you'll get the answer.

Great job Don and keep it up! I always find those old tokens really cool. Interesting how pre-WWII the swastika was regarded as a good luck symbol. How times changed.

What a great assortment of finds Don! I am liking the world's fair token the most though. It matches the sterling ring I found a couple years ago.

Fantastic bunch of finds, Don! The Barber Quarter is not really a key date but there were only 708,000 minted which is a pretty low number. It's in nice shape too! :yes:

The World's Fair token is an incredible find as well! I really like it a lot. I love all of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair items, they always have a neat art deco look to them. :thumbsup02:

:congrats:

WTG Don. Just think that Barber is from the same year the Titanic went down.
