POLL: Where did you hear about CRH?

[Codes]

In light of the "Why do you CRH" poll, I was just curious how did all of you hear about CRH?

When I first heard about CRH, I was doing some research about a bunch of coins my grandpa gave me a long time ago. I found this forum and started off in the 'Coins' section then stumbled on this section of the website and have been hooked ever since.

I started CRH after reading about it on this site. I came here as a metal detectorist and was just searching the site during the winter when MD was slow.

i started collecting coins when i was really young, and i figured that i would get better results if i go to the bank and get rolls, finding good coins in change was far and inbetween.

so i figured it out on my own

I was doing a little searching on the net for buying junk silver in case the economy collaspes and found out about CRH. Much cheaper to collect the silver this way!

ditto. I think I started collecting coins sometime in between the ages of 5 and 9. And when I was around 10 I started asking my mom to go to the bank to get rolls of pennies for me.

Didn't vote as none of the options applied.

My dad said he did it when he was a kid in the 60s to build coin collections. My grandmother would order $100 in pennies back in the 60s for them to go though, They found IH's Flying eagles and of course all the wheats they could ever want. And filled there collections pretty quick.

Never gave it much thought and I occasionally got back in change a silver dime or a wheat cent over the years. Thinking it was odd but figured someone must have spent it unknowingly. Never made the connection to search rolls to find more.

Then one of my guys found this site while looking for ways to better process black sands for gold. didn't find much useful info on that subject but the site was interesting, Looked around and Found CRH. Gave it a shot and found some rich boxes and was hooked.

Was doing it long before there was a CRH forum here. Started doing it seriously in 1995. Have gotten some amazing boxes, but with so many new people out there dream boxes are pretty much a thing of the past in my area.

Wow, I'm quite surprised. With all the new people that joined after reading the W&ET magazine article, at the present time, there are exactly zero people that say they heard about CRH there. Hmmmm.....

 

[klava]

coincollector from Tnet told me about it in chat one night. I havent seen him back on to thank him since lol

They would be the nonposting crowd- what would you expect from soandsos protoges. O yea sharing hahahahahahaha. Something for nothing only goes so far. HH Mark
Must have choked on that box of pennies like I predicted.

Read about it right here while researching which metal detector I want
to purchase. Have checked most of the half dollars at my local banks
but can't really do much CRH here. I believe all three banks here use
the same truck service and I believe if I ordered boxes from one and dumped
at another I would get my dumps right back next week. I live in a very rural area
and don't get to travel much. The price of gas makes it not worth it
to drive just for CRH. I still don't know which metal detector I want to buy
either.

 

[waseeker]

some 40+ years ago it was how I started putting together my basic coin collection by going to the bank and buying rolled coin

 

[Silver_Fox]

I always had it in the back of my mind. My uncle used to do it for dimes back in the 60's and 70's. I got linked to here from a MDing forum. The rest is (silver) history.

 

[Codes]

OK.....so a small cross-section of this forum has responded. Still, NO ONE has said they heard about CRH in the W&ET magazine article! So I guess all those forum members that posted how they read the W&ET article were just a figment of my imagination.....

 

[seecamp]

I read the article in W&E Treasure mag

I got here from a link posted at another forum.

I started in 1975. My grandfather collected coins and he started CRH in 1958. He was the one the suggested I do it, even though he said that there was nothing good left to find! I proved him wrong many times before he died in 1989 and I wish I could share with him all of the stuff I've found, both CRH and with the metal detector, since then.

I guess the article in W&E T wasn't the destruction of this hobby after all. It seems this SITE adds more people to CRH than the article did.

Should we ban this site? Password protect it and not let anyone new in?

I didn't think so.
