    Return Trip to Our Honey House / Just Keeps Giving

    Yesterday morning I met up with Dave & Noah for a little door knocking. We hit about four houses including the house that I scored at Big Time last week.

    Dave ( Daddy Digger ) was on fire all day. If you haven't seen his post already, check it out. It's EPIC!

    I managed 5 silvers, 1 Buff, 1 Indian (99 FTY) and a very cool WRC maltese cross.
    About 3 ft. from where I dug that seated dime last week, I pulled out a very sharp 1898 barber dime.

    Thanks to Dave & Noah for making the last hunt of the year very enjoyable. We all did well!!

    I know of several very old farm areas that would be ideal door knocking sites. Some old towns I've been through could be spectacular too. Mineral Point is a good example, many original houses seem mid 1800s. Get out by Elkhorn for the old farms. Let me know when you decide to come up.

    I love that Women's Relief Corps cross. Is it silver? What does the back look like?
    That dime looks like someone walked out the mint and dropped it. Huge congrats, Don!
