2 hunts, a Barber, a Rosie, a canceled? Token, Gold, plus a purchase (5/6 & 5/8)
Hi all,
Today (5/8) I managed to pull Silver #34 and #35. #34 was a 1905 -S Barber Dime, which sounded really poor and danced all around, but glad I dug it. #35, sounded like it was gonna be a quarter, but instead my hopes were dashed, though in a silvery good way, with a 1951 Rosie ( and I was hopping for a Seated or BBQ). The Rosie breaks my oldie silver streak, leaving it at 8, but I'm not complaining on that one.
On 5/6, I pulled a really cool token, it registered around a fatty signal. Normally I don't dig those 12-22, but with the slew of Gold coins going up on the banner, that's exactly where a quarter-eagle should be. I got this token, it's thin and slightly bigger than a quarter. It's been cut with tin-snips or something. I assume that means it was canceled, perhaps for a ride or something... too bad, I'd like to have seen what it was good for. Also pulled this earring. It came out Gold from the ground, and I wonder if it is indeed gold or gold plate. Keep in mind, the place it came from produces real oldies, it is not stamped in any way. The pin on the back is copper, but the rest is gold color. The discoloration is clay that I have not completely cleaned off. Any opinions?
Then today, 5/8, in honor of a coin that is eluding me, I purchased this AU Shield nickel. The photo does not do justice, the shield has all horizontal lines strong, the reflection off the coin flip obscures that an makes it look worn.
 
Happy times to all.

I'll take you to Palos any day, where I got most my 2010 finds, but I wont take you to my Barber thicket... Besides what you don't see is the hours and hours of zero signals (not even trash) I have to endure at my special oldie spot just to find a goody. Wouldn't be worth your drive from McHenry Co. cuz you'd probably come back empty handed from my special spot.

p2c,
I got a hand it to you my good man ...
Al has a "thing" for tokens & that "canceled" makes it all the more delectable ... 
The Barber & Roosie are of the decadent nature I also lust for ... 
A fine job indeed ~ Al
I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish, okay? ~ Al Czervik ... from the film Caddyshack
Blessed are the Self-Righteous ~ Well at least they think so ...

Nice shield nickel! Speaking of buying coins you can't find, I'm about ready to pick up a seated dime at the coin shop. 
Neil,
I did that last December with all my clad money, a slabbed AU-55 1891. Then I started finding them  Perhaps if you buy one it will bring you luck in the fields...
