Left out just before noon today and my gut told me to hit another permission (house build in 1950).
I only hunted the curb strip and half the front yard. The best find was the silver a 1907 Barber Half. :occasion14:
It had to be dropped before the house was built. It was next to the sidewalk about 7 inches deep. The other nice finds were a 1970 Kennedy half, 2 junk rings, 2 wheats (1940 & 45), and 2 tokens. One token has a camel on the front with the words "One Day at a Time", I believe comes from AA since it has the serenity prayer on the back and the other is a President Andrew Jackson token;

you might be correct about the year on the Kennedy, wish you said this earlier I already got a pick 4 ticket for 1907 straight and boxed thinking 1907 and 1970 was a sign.

here is a better example of the camel token it's not from the cigarette company.

Bronze One Day at a Time Camel Medallion - Serenity Prayer

They showed it with camel cigarette tokens also on Google.Probably because of the camel they grouped it in there.

Any Silver half is a great find, two in a day pretty special. I got one yesterday, and even though it is the most worn silver coin I ever found is still a good find.

Wow, it must have felt like a load pulling from the ground; I have yet to find any silver larger than a quarter, so I can only imagine the thrill. It's a beauty!
