Went out door knocking this morning. The fourth try was a success. I got permission to do the entire 3 acres.
About an hour in I got heard a high tone ringing in at 6" deep. I dig down into the roots and with some effort I pulled my first walker. :headbang: Took me 20 months to dig this one. I put the pin pointer back in the hole and got another signal. Ended up pulling a 1942-D Washington. I put about four and a half hours in today. Great weather, 2 silvers, 6 wheats, and some clad. I only got through about 1/4 acre so far. The house was built in 1906 and there's a barn and another structure. Hoping to squeeze a Barber or 2 out of this property.

Yes sir JC, I had a gut feeling I'd pull some silver. The walker brought out a big smile.
