Alec, Noah and I drove all night Friday night to do some Connecticut detecting. After meeting up with Dan and Donnie B on Saturday morning ( Thanks Guys!!!), We decided to do what we do best, Door Knocking. We tried hitting as many 1700s houses as we could. I would say that 8 out of 10 houses had a no answer and maybe 1 of of 3 said yes. We were hoping to stumble across a colonial coin or two at these houses, but it wasn't meant to be.(except Noah, he dug A Spanish silver!)

We all managed some nice coins and had a great time hitting those old houses.

Here are my finds for the trip

My best find was this 1831 William IV
6633566336
I dug 10 Indians. The oldest being an 1867. Notice one is stamped with a "W"

At least you had a great time with the guys Don! That Willy the IIII sure has nice detail and patina. I've never seen a counter stamped IHC before either. Can't wait to see what Alec & Noah found.

Congrats on the William IV Don , its not a coin that is found very often . It was great seeing you gentlemen out this way again and sorry I could get out more with you all ( new job) . you didn't miss too much from the Rev War house hunt , lots and lots of junk from fill dirt brought in but a few old musket ball (large to huge) , a merc , indian and couple of later goodies.

Thanks Dan. We really appreciated you taking us to the field. It was good to see you again.
As far as work goes, trust me, I understand!
