    Tony Two-Cent and Digger Don Fight the Wind

    I met up with Digger Don yesterday for some door knocking. This town ended up being somewhat of a disappointment but we did get a few permissions that weren't too bad. It was a very windy day!

    Here are my finds:

    Dang Tony, 6 silvers!!! Your ratio of silver to wheats is pretty darn good. Don texted me while you were hunting and said you were "killing him." Now I see what he meant! LOL. The soil looks like it was pretty easy on those wheat cents too. Great post, glad you were able to get out and detect after all that cold weather you have had. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

    Surprised Don didn't edit the video of you finding the silver dime he missed. Just kidding, we all miss stuff. Great hunt. March is suppose to be cold this year. I just am hoping for (4) 40 degree days in a row OR maybe normal temps.
