Re: I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Paul!

What a difference a year, and a new rig makes! You're in silver sleuth mode now!

Love that half!
 

Re: I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a heck of a month Paul! You've been busy getting the goods!
 

Re: I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

WTG Paul :thumbsup: Nice looking finds!
 

Re: I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on all your finds - especially your first seated and that Barber Half! Awesome pair of coins!

Now that I see the electrical you told me about finding, it appears that it is actually a 1951 Museum of Science and Industry token. Here is a picture of what it used to look like.

Congrats Paul on all your recent finds, AWESOME silver digs.
 

Re: I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back Paul! You took a break from posting but not from making some great finds. Congratulations on all the silver your finding. Your arms have to look like Arnold Schwarzeneggers arms after digging that much.
