After I worked off the Honey Do list yesterday I tried to set up more permissions. 2 "no one home" 
and one yes with a "but, I doubt if you find anything".
My 1st coin "in the easement was a 1963 rosie.
Thought that this would be a good omen since the house is on the 1874 map. Not the case though. The soil is so dry I ended the hunt early so as to not make his yard look like a dalmatian. I asked if I could come back after a drenching rain and he agreed, as long as he is home and I ask again at that time. While packing up an 88 yo veteran was walking down the street. We struck up a conversation, I come to find out he lives 2 doors down and his house is also on the 1874 map. He said I could hunt it anytime I wanted. 
Notables from the 1st permission
I went back to the house where I pulled the 1877 IHP. I dug a couple clad coins but the soil was so dry, Just so I don't bore you with many details I hunted 1 more site and then called it quits for the day.
Saturday's finds
Knowing the soil condition, I decided to go hunt some old closed/re-purposed schools in the area and the practice field in town. At the 1st site I notices some sloppy plugs with dirty pop cans next to the plugs. Boy that burns me up.
I picked up all the trash by those plugs as I came across them on my hunt.
I ended up hunting 4 sites today, pic of finds is below.
Hard to beat last weeks banner find, I almost did not post this, but not every hunt is going to "Great" hunt.
As always, hope ya'll got out and swung the coil this weekend.
Love this hobby!

It took me about 800 hours of detecting to find that coin. The clock is reset and I am at hour 7. The fire still burns and if your not out putting the time in, you're not going to find the next bucket lister.
