My Coin finds for 2009 as of Today April 9th 2009

tommyboy72 · Apr 9, 2009

Hello everyone!! I was bored tonight so I got out all of the regular(non-collectible) coins I have found so far this year. I am also going to include the wheat pennies and buffalo nickels I have found in the total(all non-silver coins). the totals are as follows:

136 Quarters
286 Dimes
40 Nickels
1,500 Pennies
106 Wheat Pennies
56 Assorted Damaged Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, Pennies
2 Buffalo Nickels

total of all of the above: 2,126 coins

this total does not count all the silver coins I have found(they were all in my safe and I am now too tired to dig them out and count them) anyway, I thought I would just put this info out there and see how I am hanging with the rest of you as far as total coins found, etc. I love this website and these forums.

Whoa!!

That's a helluva start for 2009, especially with the Illinois winters. I'm only getting out for my 4th hunt of the year this
weekend.

That is a good amount of coins, but you forgot to mention all of the pull tabs. I am happy to see that there are others out there that find that many coins. When I first started to hunt I have a friend that generally finds 1000+ coins a month & there were many members that doubted him because he didn't post pics. He does not have a computer so I started posting pics for him, they now no he is for real. I think most people that spend the time will find the coins, but not everyone can spend that much time with there MD.

The better question is: How are "you" doing this year with respect to this same time last year. For me, I'm a little bit ahead of my last years totals. Here in S. Cal, we're able to detect all year long. Our total coin counts(oldies/clad) will be much higher than those from hunters back East.

I think you're doing pretty good, since you wanted to show us what you have found so far this year. :thumbsup:

Congrats. Keep it going!
