    Sunday Morning Door Knocking

    Hey Diggers,

    This morning I drove around old neighborhoods and if I saw someone outside in their yard or on their porch I stopped and asked if I could MD. I got permission for two houses. I found a few wheat cents, a V nickel, a Buffalo nickel, mercury dime, and a sweet 1897 Barber quarter! I also found an old bottle while I was digging a hole. Thanks for looking, Dave.

    That V nickel is in great shape. They're usually pretty roached out. Congrat's on the Barber!

    Everybody needs to pay attention to the fact that door knocking works and usually results in virgin ground. Did you clean that V?
