Hey Diggers, Don and I tried our luck in a new town. It was a very small town with many old homes. Someone must have detected the crap out of that town in years past! We hunted 6 different houses and got only 1 or 2 good targets at each one. Lots of nickels but hardly any clad even.

I really hate those roofing nails! They sound so good. Oh well, gotta take the bad with the good.

I'd say more than a couple of good keepers! You found keepers at almost every house we hit. Although we didn't find that killer house, the good finds kept coming a little at a time. That 1864 house only gave up one coin, it just happened to be a 1901 Barber quarter, Great Job!!
You ended up with a nice haul,

Really great door knocking! Enjoyed the post!

Congrats on quality, not quantity! Gotta love those Barber Quarters. It would be very rare to get 6 "yesses" to hunt yards up here in NE on one day. Folks are just more reserved. Keep finding the goods.
