I picked up 12 boxes 6 at two different wells fargos. I was getting really disappointed. I get my 4th box i get a few 64s and proofs. my hopes go up alittle. Then they go down until box 11 about half way in i open the roll and see a very thin sliver of shiny metal, at first i thought it was just a really thin foreign coin with a silver look, I slid it out and i see a well worth barber half. its propably only in good condition there is no reeding and most of the surface is worn flat.

Still it really raised my hopes, I didn't find anything more but that coin made the meager find worth it.  This is now my oldest coin and my 3 barber in 4 years

You forgot the cheesy hair cut referance. It is a must with a barber find. Rule #110 of coin roll hunting.
