Hi,
I would have waited until the end of the month to post this, but we recieved 14 inches of snow on Monday and I will not be detecting again at least until Sunday the first. In January I found;
Cents; 485 (5 wheats oldest 1944-s)
Nickels; 59
Dimes; 330
Quarters; 283 (114 states quarters, 40 different)
Dollars; 2 (a sacagewea and a thomas jefferson)
foriegn coins; 6 including australia, india and the philipines.
Silver rings; 3
other rings; 3
Other keepable items included bracelets, pendants and even a DVD someone lost in a park. My three best days were listed under other posts and included 178 coins, 208 coins and 304 coins. Hopefully the snow will melt and Febuary will be even better. Sorry no pictures, most are rolled and spent already,some of my finds are pictured in another post. good hunting, Kane 23

Nice going!
You could probably quit right now and still beat me for the year.

Pretty impressive total for coins, I don't know how many I have found but I know it's over 24.00 worth. Congratulations on the rings too.

That is amazing! I am at about $14 for Jan., a far cry from your success. I don't live in Utah, but what kind of places do you hunt to find so much coinage? We don't have snow slopes in TX, just parks and tot lots. thanks

I'm in the same boat as Matt, I found a penny at work yesterday. This Ohio weather is killing me.

I found a penny in my pocket, but I think it is one I dug. How's that for ironinc. If my metal detector wasn't in the shop, well, I still wouldn't be anywhere near 1147.
Thanks for the post.

I am curious what part of Utah are you from Southern or Northern I'm guessing (SN). The ground is
frozen over solid in (NN).

Re: 1149 coins found in January

Looks like the weather is getting most of us down! I feel for you th-er's that have worse weather and conditions than me, I would go absolutly nuts! I did chip a lot of coins out of the ice this month, but it would have been a different story had I not been able to go south to where the snow was melted and the ground thawed. It had just completly thawed here when we got the new 14 inches,no telling how long until it melts and thaws this time. I found a dime and a quarter on a parking lot last night so I had to raise my total by two.
Novaman you guessed right, i'm in southern utah. 1996, no silver coins yet here. Baylorhall, I went to Texas a couple of years ago and found 400 quarters in a week and a half. Like all of you I search parks and schools and look for places others would'nt think to detect. happy hunting, kane 23

Re: 1149 coins found in January

You my good man, are amazing. How in the world did you find so much so quick?

 

[kane23]

Re: 1149 coins found in January

Relichunters,
I don't consider it that quick,I have found over 3000 coins in a month twice and over 1500 many times.Find some new spots where others rarely go and you will also find it's not that quick....Kane 23

Re: 1149 coins found in January

I haven't found over 20 clad in a single day, most times it's around 8 coins even after like a fair or something.

Re: 1149 coins found in January

Relichunters,
you need to find some new places to detect, sounds like others are beating you to most of the finds, try using a small loop to search with it will help, Kane 23
