Permission just keeps getting better

Last weekend I went up to a friends house in a real small town (maybe 100 people)to detect his yard. This town was a boom town in the early 1900's. All I found at my friends was junk. Not 1 coin. But he has a neighbor, Ken, who lives in the old bank. He's 83, lived in this town since he was 10, and is a huge military collector. And since I found a US pin last year that I couldn't identify, I thought what a way to break the ice. I ended up getting permission to do an empty lot across the street. It once had the town grocery store. All I found was junk except for 1 piece. It was a bent up token with the town name on it. He was super excited, offered me $50 for it and I refused that. I just asked for permission to do around his yard instead. Now I have open permission for all his land plus he wouldn't let me leave without giving me $25 for it. I'm always willing to give someone a keepsake like that! Fast forward to tonight, my friend just sent me a text that Ken really wants to get a hold of me because he did research on the token and it is more rare than what he 1st thought. So in hopes of me finding another in better condition, he is on a mission of getting me permission on all the neighbors properties. Never in my dreams would I have thought I would end up being able to detect a whole town

I spent over 5 hours in this town on Sunday, and I think I may have only detected for about an hour and a half. The rest of the time was talking and listening to him tell stories. That was well worth it though because I like hearing old timers stories!
