    Door Knocking with Alec and Don

    Hey Diggers,

    I met up with Don and Alec for some detecting yesterday. We started off at a courthouse that dates to 1872. Naturally it has been hunted to death but Alec and I found a couple nice keepers. I'm not sure if Don had his machine on or not though, LOL. Soon we headed off in search of farmhouses. We got permission at a nice old one out in the middle of nowhere but none of us found any old keepers there. I doubt it was ever detected before but there just weren't any old coins.

    We went to nearby town and did some door knocking. We got several yesses and only a couple no's. Here's my best stuff for the day. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.
