Door Knocking in Connecticut

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

Thanks for looking. I'll be posting Alec's finds soon!!

Very nice Don, love that William IV! Looking forward to seeing the rest.

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.

Great finds and nice meeting you guys on the first day out!

So many Indians! Well done!

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.

The William lV coin is a beauty and Indian seem to follow you wherever you go!

Nice finds Don, sounds like the weather cooperated and things to find as well. Congrats. WD

As I have read your previous posts I am always amazed at how many "yes" answers you get. Sorry I missed you guys this trip out but maybe next year. Congrats on the keepers....:thumbsup02:
