I drove to the big city today and started door knocking on a street I hit a couple of months ago. I got permission at the first house I stopped at and the lady asked me to keep an eye out for a wedding ring that a guy lost while cutting a tree out of the yard a couple of months earlier. I didn't find the ring, but I did find an 1891 IHP and then two back-to-back war nickels (1942 and 1944). The dirt was bone dry and I ran out of time, but it was nice to have a multi-keeper day (the other IHP is from a couple of days ago at a different site).
