well like usual I had no where to go, so I get in my car and start looking, went to a small town and found a few old houses, knocked and got permission.
House one, looked good, was real old, but mega trashy, I got one merc dime 1941.....I didn't hang around long, too many other houses to check...
House two, almost as bad as one....no keepers between Jamie and I after an hour, so we headed across the street to house #3.......
We knocked and asked, she said my husband doesn't want anyone to detect, we smiled, thanked her, and as we walked away and she said "sir!" I turned around and said yes? She says go ahead and detect, its ok....sweet! That has only happened to me 3 times in all the door knocking I do, that is why it is IMPORANT to be polite, and thank them even if they say no. Her yard was small and only gave up one merc a 1917, and a few wheats.
When in her backyard I saw a guy walking into an old church across the street and he waved to me, so I went over to talk to him and got permission to hunt the church. I was about out of time but I rang over a bit of the church yard for about an hour and got the buffalo nickel, the indian and 3 more wheats.
So there was my saturday, once again door knocking DOES work!
