    Beautiful coins... especially the barber half. Well done on the really cool relics as well. Is the tan round thing a musketball or a clay marble? Excellent hunting Dave!
    I <3 colonial relics!

    Those are some awesome finds. the case with the necklace or bracelet is really cool. A couple years back I found the exact same key to heaven metal. That's a neat little religious metal. Nice hunts WD

    Too many awesome finds in one thread! My brain is short circuited!

    You're finding Standing Liberty Quarters left and right now! Funny how that works. None for years then four in a row!

    I love that Barber Half too. It's in great shape!

    Good job finding the bell portion of that scholarship medal. Very cool that you have both pieces now!

    Congrats on all those fantastic finds!

    You have a wing in a museum here
    Someday I'd like to find a standing liberty I wonder why someone holed that heater token. Maybe he gave it to his best girl...how romantic I can hear him now, "but honey, it's FLUELESS!"

    LOL! That's a good one Drew. I have found that particular token before but not in as good of shape as this one. When WW1 broke out, they dropped the "German" part of the name for obvious reasons. So I know this token is pre-1918. HH, Dave.

    Some crazy cool finds! I love the tokens and the barber half is not only a fairly rare find but in better shape then most of them. The rayed shield nickel is extremely cool as well. If I might make a suggestion next time resize your photos to something like 7 or 800 pixels across. I kept having to scroll down to move over and then scroll back up to see everything. Although it was worth it.
