    I got out today and dug my two Cents worth!

    I met up with Noah today to do a little door knocking. We hit our first house a little after 9:00 and got a yes. Noah was first on the board with a barber dime, then I followed with an 1889 Indian. The second house also gave us a yes. I only dug two good coins in that yard, an 1881 Indian and a 1957 Rosie. A while later we saw an old 1860s brick home. We were told that it had been hunted before but to go ahead if we want. I dug only one coin from that yard, an 1865 Two-Cent piece.

    The last two house we did were next door to each other. At the first one I dug a 1917 Merc and a 1912 Barber dime and at the last house I dug a 1900-S barber Dime. I also dug 12 wheats today.
    This was our first time in this town. We'll be back!!

    I think the Two Cent Piece would clean up even better with some meticulous toothpick action.
