    Construction Project 2 1/2 Hours of Hunting This Week - 1st Barber Half

    Hello Everyone,

    It's been awhile since I've been here, looking or posting! Work has really just consumed my time for many, many months recently. I just started getting out this year about three weeks ago when the construction projects started in full force. Now they are under way and I have been getting in short hunts here and there and will for most of the summer.

    I was out for 2 1/2 hours two evenings this week at a construction project in the area and was able to find my first Barber Half, and 1895S. Of course, I dinged it!

    I also found 1875, 1883, 1892, 1903 IH's; 1935, 1941S Mercury Dimes and some wheats, jewelry, foreign coins, etc.

    HH everyone!
