    Had a Decent Week of Hunting. Felt Good to Get Out Swinging!

    Last Saturday I got out for a few hours and dug an 1893 Indian, an 1891 V nickel and 1896 Barber dime.

    I stopped and did one house Wednesday after work and dug a 1943 Walker Half Dollar.

    Today i was out most of the day and dug two mercs, a 1942 & 1944. I followed that with 1911 Barber dime, an 1886 Indian and a 1902 V nickel

    You and your door knocking Don....wow! You've definitely got the permission thing down pat. Here in New England folks are a little more reserved and sometimes hesitant to answer the door to strangers. I've had good luck, but obviously not to the level of success you have. What a nice haul of older dinero - especially the Walker. The 1902 V is also in decent shape - most of those can get pretty toasty in the ground.
