Door Knocking with Tony & Noah

[Digger Don]

Saturday, Noah and I met up with Tony Two-Cent in central Illinois for some door knocking. Man, it's getting tough out there We started out with a bunch of no door answers. As the day went on, we did get several yeses and some were great looking yards, just no old coins and in a couple of yards no coins at all!!
Good news is, none of us got skunked and Tony dug himself a bucket lister.
All in all it was a good day hunting with friends and I think we all still had fun.

Here are my finds from our hunt



I dug this from an 1851 yard. I thought at first it was a small animal shoe, but after cleaning it I think it is a heel plate.
I never found one this thick, about a 1/4'' thick


Some finds from last weeks hunt that I forgot to post


Thanks for looking!!!

Sorry I couldn't make it this weekend... Great bunch of finds. Looks like you found a piece of a spur (terminal) too!

Looks like you guys had pretty good success. It's starting to get a little nippy out but I hope we have at least all of November in Cheeseland. Nice recoveries. WD

Congrats Don and the gang. Glad you guys got on some goodies.

It was a nice day even if the banner finds weren't popping. You were the silver champion. I didn't know you found that heel plate. That's a really cool find!

I really like that sportman's button and spur part too! :yes:

It is getting somewhat discouraging that so many yards have been previously hunted. Things have definitely gotten tougher in the past ten years.

So many keepers! Is the thing to the right on last pic the thing Dave is talking about? Congrats on a nice outing!

Very nice finds, and at least you got some silver out of the ground and a few relics. Things sure are getting tough. I haven't pulled a single silver yet this year. Keep up the good work!
