Awesome First Coin Roll Hunting Finds!

Tinky1878 · Apr 29, 2008

Since I have not been having much luck at metal detecting lately, I decided to try my hand at coin roll hunting. So, I picked up two rolls of nickles up at the local store. I picked up nickles, because it is fairly easy to find older nickles compared to silver coinage. I ended up finding a 1925 Buffalo and a 1906 "V" Nickle! Boy was I surprised! I guess it was Beginners luck!

Here are the pics! Thanks for looking!

It's amazing what can still be found in modern change!

Nice going Tinky! I may have to try doing that sometime.

That is great Tinky!! Not sure if you saw the post, but I was given a $40 reward from a guy for returning his Blackberry and I want to use that money and try my hand at coin roll hunting. I was told to go for half dollars, but after seeing your post I may go for nickels!! CONRATZ!!

Good finds Tinky, I might have to take up coin roll hunting in the off season.

Congratulations!! Whatever works, do it. Looks like a good addition to metal detecting and a great way to spend days when you can't get out with the detector.

ron, it really doesn't cost anything to coin roll hunt. you hunt em, re-roll em and get your money back. Tinky's hunt only cost him 10 cents - the two nickels he had to replace for the ones he found.

it's how i filled out my state quarter collection. i bought $50 worth - found a a half dozen or so that i needed and took the rolls back to the bank and said i wanted $50 more dollars in quarters and the girl tried to give me the same rolls back -- duh. i said i needed different rolls and she looked at me like i was nuts.

good job but if you want to find coins i'm telling you if you can hit all the old churches in your area.

TimC · May 3, 2008

Man, I could look for a 1000 years and never be that lucky. Nice!

BRJ123 · May 3, 2008

Wow very nice, I used to go to different banks around here and trade several hundred dollars into coins, wrap em back up and bring em back to another bank. I found LOTS of silver that way but I think some started to give me back the coins I previously brought to them so I stopped for a while to allow them to recirculate

toehead · May 3, 2008

That's remarkable Tinky, to think that those nickels were actually in with modern change.

Go back and get more from teh same place. I looked threw probably 1000 dollars in nickels every week and have found one total this year

NCBounty15 · May 10, 2008

Good job....I look in the nickels too because since the V nickels the rim of the coin has not changed....people can't pick them out of a roll like silver. HH & HCRH,
