Barber half (1896-o), 2 BBQ's, 2 buffs all in one spill! (plus Video) 3/3/12

Hi all,
Got my 3rd silver half on the year. A semi-key date 1896-o; 2 barber quarters (1897, 1901); 2 buffalo nickels (16-d, 17) all in the same spill!!! was 9 inches deep.

Also found 4 wheat pennies on the day, dates TBD.
