    Awesome Saturday Hunt with Digger Al (Picture Heavy)

    Alec and i went out this morning to one of our favorite towns for a little door knocking. I'm going to condense this because we hit four houses today.

    At the first three houses:
    Alec dug a 1964 Washington quarter, 3 Rosies 1952,1964 & 1960 , a Prescott, Az. centennial token, a 1901 V Nickel and a bunch of wheats.

    I dug 2 Rosies 1946-D & a 1946., a 1900 Indian, a sterling ring, a couple of clad Kennedy Half Dollars, a Missouri Tax Token, a shot bullet, a Cub Scout neckerchief slide and some wheats.

    at the last house, we both no more than walked 3 feet onto the lawn and BAM, we each dug a barber Dime. Alec an 1898-O and me a 1916-S. Alec also dug a no date Buff. I dug a penny spill, a 1916-D wheat and an 1892 Indian. We were there a little less than an hour and it began to rain. The owners were nice enough to invite us back.

    look at all the silver you and Alec have come so far in such a short time Its great to see the stuff you two find .

    Being from Arizona and visiting Prescott many times makes me very partial to the centennial token , I love it
