Found another road reconstruction project today. This time it was only 1 block long, but I got a Barber Half, 3 Indian Heads, 1 V nickel, 1 Mercury dime, And a Dairy token good for 1 pint of milk at the Beaver Creek Creamery.
Note the little blue building in the background. It made it convenient for when nature called, plus, I was able to park only a few feet from the site.

BK, congratulations on some great coins. Thanks for taking some pictures of the site. The whole post is awesome!
 

Nice finds, I really like the extra pics. That half looks like it might have got the blood pumping.
 

wonderful finds !! great pics too !!
 

Wow! Super nice finds! Do you get any flak about detecting road construction like that ? I never tried thinking they would boot me off pretty quick. I have pictures of our main street back in the 1800's of huge parades and parties on the road when it was all dirt. The original buildings on the road still stand, but off course there is not a lick of grass to be found there anymore.
 

Excellent finds bk. Great pictures and a very good post on road construction search sites.
It's very informative for any newcomers to this addiction.
HH!
