    Timid, but nice short permission reveiled a few goodies

Size:  33.4 KBWell the gentleman only gave us an 8 foot wide path to hunt in the front plus the parkway but along the area we could go no further the goodies began to pop up. 1881 and 1907 Indian plus a 1915 rare girl Park and Recreation Association of America pin. Partner in crime Digger Don also pulled an Indian. Unfortunately the rest of the goodies will remain buried as owner was rather private, and seemed even regretful he gave even a small permission. I'm certain this is an 1880's un-hunted site! Was a lot of fun even though it was too short a search!!

    Or get permission from his neighbors and show him more good finds from their yards. Usually frequent sightings in the neighborhood with a wave of the hand wins them over. Just gotta give them that friendly smile LOL!! OK well it worked when I was 20!
