New Property A Few Finds

[deershed]

I got out for a little this evening and headed for our Bed and Breakfast property. I figured with all the rain we just got maybe some CW lead would expose itself. I was there for about a half hour finding a few then decided to do some door knocking for a new property, got lucky on my first knock.
When I started my hunt I worked a straight line through the side yard wanting to check the front yard first. It was a short walk but things weren't looking good, no decent hits.
Out front only minutes swinging I got my first decent repeater 80 and dug a two wheat spill. For the next hour I didn't dig much other then some more wheats and an old brass brooch.
I was getting ready to leave but, thought I'd mess around some more in the one area I found a few wheats. Up until now I was running the iron discrimination off, now I decided to change it up and swing with it on.
Didn't take long and I dig a 1903 Indian Head, not in the greatest shape. A few minutes later I get 84 hit and flip a plug, 3 wheats and a 45 merc.
I only go about 5 feet and get a good solid 85 hit. Flip a plug and see one of those big green disc laying in the hole, 1828 large cent. This one is in a little better shape then most my big coppers, it could be a 1825?
Didn't stick around after finding the LC, do plan on making another trip there soon.

If I remember correctly, I really like seeing those big green disks in the hole. That brooch really gave you a little scare I bet!

Great finds with the door knock. The answer is Always NO if you don't ask isn't it?

Well if I can't get a dime trifecta I'll have to settle with a penny trifecta. I didn't even realize I had a penny trifecta until you mentioned it. Lol

Is was an easy permission. I was driving past the yard and a guy was cutting the grass. Half the problem with door knocks is finding someone home.
The guy said he was hired to cut the grass but, if I wanted he'd send the owner a text and ask her himself. He sent her a text and gave her my contact info.
I was down the road at another door when the home owner called and gave me the ok. Didn't take me long to hop back in the jeep and head back to that yard. Lol
