    Eight Silver Day Hunting with Daddy Digger

    I met up with Daddy Digger Saturday for a day full of Door Knocking. I lost count, but I guess it was 10 houses we hit.
    I ended up digging 8 silver coins, including two dime trifectas, a sterling heart pendant, 3 Indians, 12 wheats, a sterling pocket watch back and a flattened lantern top.
    We only got two No's the entire day. Love that town!!
