Sill Going with the Gut 2 Halves Dug (1907 & 1970) & Other Cool Finds

[Loco-Digger]

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.
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 need to change that Screen name to LocoMofo! That barber is a killer find. We see plenty of walkers and Franklins on here but man I love to see a Barber half!

Congrats buddy. Nice to see your new tactic is working wonders!

I believe your camel token is a Camel cigarette token.Also the 70 is a 79 I believe the 0 is too small to be 70 and they weren't common,Minted for collectors only in sets.D and S mint marks only.I love that Barber.

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.

Barber half!!! Wowsers... You have a good gut on ya Loco! There was something about the 1970 half dollars, but i cant recall it exactly.... Were they only issued in mint sets or something? Hmmm... Gotta think more about it. Either way, two great halves! Way to go!!

Thanks for the link to your camel token, never seen one before...
And why can't I find a Barber Half?

Must be hard to stifle the old victory dance/war cry when you are in a stranger's front yard. For a barber half, I'd probs just let it fly congrats!
