My hunting partner had to work this morning so I took the opportunity to go knock on some doors that I've been researching. The first 3 had nobody home and I only had 4 targeted so I figured I would end up hitting a spot that I've hunted before. But, no. The woman at the last house said for me to enjoy myself. And enjoy myself I did! I found my first 2 war nickels, a 1917s Merc, 1919 and 1920 Wheats, some clad and wazits. On the way out, as I thanked the woman for letting me hunt, I asked if she minded if my partner and I came back tomorrow and she was fine with it. So, hopefully tomorrow will produce some more silver!

I hope you have good luck on the return. War nickels and Mercury dimes are cool to find.

Congrats on scoring that sweet permission. Looks like it may be virgin ground. Glad to see your on the board in 2016 with some silvers. :occasion14:

Good Luck on your next hunt.

Thanks Loco! The woman told me that the place had been "pounded", but I was welcome to hunt it anyway. My return trip was better, see my new post. :icon_biggrin:
