Last night I visited an old town and met up with a new guy to the hobby to do some door knocking. He is very interested in getting a deus so when ever we meet up I let him use mine so that he can get familiar with it before he gets one of his own.
My day was already great because I found a 1941 merc during my lunch break at a near by park. Then while I was waiting for my hunting partner to meet me I found a 1921 British Six Pence. I think they are 50% silver. Once he arrived I told him I was going to knock on a couple homes to see if we could get on some "virgin" ground. The first house gave us a yes so I told my partner to go ahead and start swinging and I would go next door and see if I could another permission right away. I talked to the owner of home #2 and at first he said it would not be worth it because he had gone over the place with his detector. I kindly asked him that we would love to go over it again and he said sure have at it. So I started at home #2 while my partner hit the first home.
Two minutes into the hunt and I get a solid penny signal and out came a wheatie. I thought "Cool this yard has some targets left". 3 feet away was another penny signal but the sound was a bit higher in tone...out comes a silver dime! I saw the edge first and when I picked it up there was Lady Liberty sitting! Checked the back and saw the CC....I was thrilled as I calmly walked over to my buddy to show him. He couldn't believe it.
I then went back and the NEXT hole was a sterling silver pocket knife!
Ended up with a nice 1919 Buff and a 1942 P War Nik. My buddy found his first Indian 1902 so he was thrilled. The home owner came out with his detector and found a few wheat pennies. So it was a fun night for all!
The Token was found by my youngest boy last week.
Thanks for looking. Jared
