My hunting partner and I decided we would do some door knocking on Sunday. I took him to a neighborhood that lies right in the path of a running cavalry battle during the Civil War and also has a pre Civil War house in the neighborhood. As we were driving we saw a few guys cutting down a tree next to a very small 1940's house. Got out of the car, found the owner and asked him if we could metal detect around the yard. He immediately said yes and then went on to tell me he owned a total of seven houses and two empty lots on that street and we could have the run of them as well. I felt like I had hit the jackpot. We started hunting two houses that were side by side and built in 1941. These homes had very small yards but they were chock full of targets! As we hunted the first yard the owner went down the street to tell his renters that we would be hunting their yards. He also talked to his next door neighbor who has about an acre behind his house just across the street from the pre Civil War house and got us permission to hunt there as well! Super nice guy.
So far, we have hunted two yards and a bit of the empty lots and as you can see the results have been awesome. The finds pictured below are just the finds I made! Among my favorite finds are the 1903-1953 Buick 50th anniversary key fob and the custom made silver ring with the tiger stone in the center. Don't be fooled by the small size of the 1940's GI Bill homes or their small postage stamp yards. They are producers! While hunting one yard a lady living next door invited us over to hunt her yard as well. We're going to be in that neighborhood for a while.
The last two pictures show all of my finds including the ones from the Saturday sidewalk hunt last weekend. It was an awesome weekend.

I ended up with a 13 silver month just from three trips to yards and sidewalks.
