    My Finds from my Last Couple Hunts

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
