January 1st, 178 coins in Three and one half hours

[kane23]

Hi,
I was looking for a place to detect here in this snow smothered town, there were only a few bare spots near trees. I said what the heck. I drove forty minutes south where there was no snow. The coins were flying! In three and a half hours pulled out 178 coins, that included 56 quarters,52 dimes,four nickels and 68 cents,nothing old, but it was a great start to the year,I also found a copper ring.
Whats the greatest number of coins you have ever found on January first?, that was probably the most for me. Whats the oldest you have found on that day? I found a 1900 Indian head on the first once and a 1897 barber quarter on the third. The oldest coin ever in January was a 1863 Netherlands one gulden. Good hunting and have a great year....Kane 23

In the january 2005 issue of Western and Eastern treasures,there was an article about a man who was 68 finding over 36,000 coins in 2003. He found as many as 5000 in one month and 517 in one day, now thats some serious detecting! I'm headed south again on the 11th, I hope to find more than 178 coins, HH kane 23

congrats man! I love seeing these type of posts...... my hope is that we will see more of these types of posts in the future.. many TNET members live in places where really cool old old things just arent gunna happen... most of us will never find a gold coin........ but all of us can go for shear number of rescued coins........ all of us appreciate and applaud digging that many coins in one hunt..... getting to 100 in one day here in rural ohio takes a little luck and a whole lot of determination............ congrats on all the fine digs man!

Every place has a history even if history was brought there by others and lost. Luck will come your way sooner than later i hope for you.
