I went door knocking this morning, only took one door....this was a TINY yard, the front yard was no more than 10 ft from the house to the sidewalk, thats it!!! But it was old and called out to me, so I knocked, ...asked, ...and got permission.
First plug was an 1899 indian at 4" deep, so I made up my mind I was gonna go slow as possible and dig every coin signal, no matter what depth. Got a few clad coins, then snagged the 1923 merc. Moved across the sidewalk to the right side of the yard, and got a fairly shallow 10-42. I figured it was a memorial or possibly wheat....NOPE, it was a 1911 barber dime. Got one lone wheat and few clad coins and the front yard was covered.
I moved out to the curb strip, got a couple clad coins, then I got a 09-41 repeating good that showed 4" I thought again, maybe a memorial or wheat, but this time it was a two silver dime spill, 1907 Canadian and 1899 barber dime, cool!
That was a quick, short, and VERY productive hunt....4 silvers with only one wheat, that helps my silver to wheat ratio!
Don't skip those tiny yards because some produce very well.
