    Detecting with Tony Two-Cent and Digger Don

    Hey Diggers,
    Last Friday afternoon I drove up north and met Digger Don for some door knocking. He got us a couple nice permissions at 1884 and 1893 houses. we both found silver and some old coins. Saturday we met up with Tony and went door knocking at farmhouses. Don's was getting a lot no's and I realized his mojo had become weak so I stepped in and got us 4 permissions (although 2 were complete busts). LOL. Tony really scored nicely at 2 of the farmhouses. Don started popping indian head cents at the last house (which had a 5-acre yard I might mention). We'll definitely be returning there! Here's some pics of my stuff. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

    Fantastic bunch of finds, Dave! It was a lot of fun hunting with you, it had been too long. We will have to get together again this fall.

    I really like that old padlock, it cleaned up really well. I like the watch bezel too. It has a very ornate design around the edge.

    Good job on the coal scatter tag. Had you found one from that company before?

    There is definitely more there at that farm with the 5 acre yard!
    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Are you thinking the pocketwatch frame is silver?
    With that color and type of scroll work, it kinda looks like it.
