Drove to the Naval Hospital and saw street tear out... Had to hit it up before it got paved..... Found my 1st Barber Half, A Merc, and Looks like a Civil War Navy Button according to Google search. Thanks for looking and look forward to your finds as well. It keep me encouraged to go out weekly as much as possible!

That's awesome. I really should keep my gear in the trunk so I can take advantage of opportunities like that when I find them. I'm eagerly waiting for the next sidewalk tearout in my town.
