A great way to start the year - congrats ! 
Thats some great silver especially this time of year!

Yeah door knocking is for those with the gift of gab! Guess we'd not be good door to door vacuum cleaner salesman either.
I have had good luck though mainly farmers in my area catching them outside and asking, a lot less formal, less threatening with no interuptions to their dinner!
There's just something about knocking on their door that turns a lot of people off especially if some stranger wants to dig holes in their property.
Myself, i would never allow some stranger out of the blue door knock have a free for all on my property.

EXACTLY.....!!!!!!! I've had much better luck when the owners are outside or someone wants to stop and bs about tecting, what you find, etc...???? Sometimes that conversation can lead to a yard? Then hopefully the neighbors yard, etc. I love living in the middle of nowhere but it kinda sucks for tecting.....ironsight said:Thats some great silver especially this time of year!

I hear what you're saying oneguy as i also live out in the middle of nowhere. Nearest town is a good 40 min. drive and its only a small town. The drive to the nearest big city is a good hour+ drive.
The good news for us boonydocker's, is that there are a lot of farm fields where there once stood school houses, churches, small settlements, fairgrounds, etc.
Got permission from two farmers to locate a town with a documented stagecoach depot and post office that disappeared on the map around the late 1800s to early 1900s. Was somewhere i think on an old diagonally winding snaky wagon trail now long gone either buried by farm fields or hilly woods these days.
I surmise the town and that wagon trail was abandoned in the early 1900s when mile square grid roads were paved in the county. Half the fun is research and the hunt itself.
Just got to study those old maps.
I do my best in the big city and have to drive a little over 2hrs one way so it's 4.5hrs just driving rt and that usually means an overnight at the ol Motel. I really have to bite my tongue if/when I go with all the idiots running around, no place to park, etc. But that's where the coins are. Last time I was there I put $ into the parking meter and next I see the meter maid about ready to ticket me....some gentle bs got her to not write the ticket. Next I got permission to do a curb strip and next thing that happened is some lady is chewing my a$$ off about digging in her yard the previous day? I sware up and down to the gal that I'm from out-of-town and this is my first trip in this yr? She apparently doesn't believe me so an hr later I'm around the corner working on the permission strip and some guy starts chewing on me again about being in his yard without permission? Turns out it was her husband. I calm him down and leave. Not even sure if it's worth it anymore to try and enjoy a hobby. Turns out some other MDing guy was hitting the curb strips a day before my arrival and got into a few yards when he thought nobody was around? That last trip in kinda soured me....BUT that's where the coins are!!!!!
Today I re-re-re-hunted a private in Podunk I have permission on that last season I pulled a few goodies from, slowing down even more with the 6x8, ttf, and not much expectation but I have no place(s) to hunt at this time? Managed 3 wheats, '16,'36,'55, until I froze out. So I'll probably be stuck there pounding away until something else turns up hopefully?
sorry for the hijack
