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

That's okay, the cold here has kept that base of snow solid on the sledding hils, as soon as it warms we'll be singing the flexible fly'er bonanza songs again Kane!
Great hunting!

Eh I usually hunt at old and historic sites. (Yes historic as in civil war, get off my back about it). So it's hard to find coins there. I am sure if I went to a school in the middle of nowhere would be alot.

Re: 1149 coins found in January

wow! Congrats man... I thought my 225 for the month was outstanding LOL But still in the frozen tundra of Ohio and only 5 hunts(due to watching my little one M-F from daylight till dark) I think I did fairly well..... but man you killed my meager finds...... congrats to the max!

Re: 1149 coins found in January

I would love to just search for items at old and historic sites and I have done so many times during the year's. Once I found a british penny dated 1797, a US shield nickel dated 1869, a 1943 walking liberty half and a 2003 cent all in the space of two hours, four centuries in one day,probably never do it again.
The sad truth is I depend on finding a lot of new change, so thats what I do most of the time, some would say I have it down to a science, thus the decent coin totals. I appreciate all of your kind comments and will continue to share my finds, good hunting, Kane 23

Nothing wrong with finding money you can spend! Carnie chasing rules!

Exactly!! Don't collect anything you can't buy beans with. WTG, cash is cash.

Nice finds Kane, when it really warms up you should make a few killings again! Success!

Re: 1149 coins found in January

Woody,
My favorite months are in the spring and fall, I loathe the snow and frozen ground and I hate to be outside when it's over 85f. Hopefully I will have enough motivation to be out during the hot months this year. Tommarow(Sunday) I'm headed south again, hopefully I will find enough to make a decent post and a good start to Febuary. Good hunting, kane 23

Tell ya what Kane23, you are an inspiration to anyone looking to take up metal detecting. If this were an olympic event, you would get the "gold"! Good job!
