I did a door knock yesterday and got a permission on an old house, started by digging old wheats, 1911-1917-1919 ad was wondering when an Indian would show up, finally did a nicely detailed 1902. The Indian has an iron stain and I am working on cleaning that. Finally popped a Merc, both literally and figuratively a nice 1936. A surprise was an 1953 Portuguese 10 Centavos and finished with a Frigidaire pocket mirror.

Wow Tony, is there more land there? I've never even seen a Portuguese 10 centavos. Congrats!

Perhaps dropped by a "not-so-early" Portuguese explorer in 1953? LOL. Door knocking is the way to find the virgin sites, well done Tony and HH, Dave.

Big yard I did not get to thoroughly get to cover it all, will be going back when I can go a bit slower, I had an appointment which may give me a couple more houses to do. More land, well I guess the farmer has 3,500 acres he farms and I have permission on them! Now I have to do the research on the fields, I was able to find out exactly where his fields are and I drove by them and they are all in beans! Now it is old map study time to pin down any sites on them.
