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

[milco]

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!

WOW! Awesome Haul! Construction sites or street tear outs always pay off when your in a old area!

Great to see a post from you, Darren! The king of the tear-outs is back! :thumbsup02:

Huge congrats on your first Barber Half! And to make it even more sweeter it's from the 1800s! It has seen a lot of circulation but that gives it character in my book. Awesome find!

Lots of other great coins too.
