Well today was my first ever door knocking yes lol it was an 1880s house site the gentleman was sitting on his front porch and I went over and I asked he told me that his son and grandsons had already detected around his house several times but he said I could give it a shot so I went for it he was 80 years old and very friendly he asked me if I could help him and I said sure all he wanted me to do was move a sidewalk stone back into place because it was too heavy for him to move so I did and I was rewarded with 3 Indian heads from 1886,1899, and 1901:happydance01: I also dug 7 Wheaties oldest one was 1912 it was a Very good day I love Indian heads thanks for looking and HH

WTG on getting the permission and being rewarded after you helped move that stone. Nice tribe of IH's and a pile of wheats......:thumbsup02:

The effort of knocking on doors has a definite benefit. Private properties usualy have not been hunted before but in your case Nesdore, the area had been hunted previously and you still came away with some terrific finds.
