This weekend has been a double record setter for me! While camping, I hit a hole with 18 coins, One thin dime and 17 pennies. My previous record was 5 in one hole. Later in the day I was biking and scattered along side the road I noticed 5-6 coins, when I stopped to pick them up, I discovered 20-25 more! I think my previous record for loose change on the street was maybe 15 coins. Total for the day was $5.82. Good timing, because I need new batteries image Mary

    << <i>I hit a hole with 18 coins, One thin dime and 17 pennies >>

    I've got you by a slight margin. I once dug something like 22 coins out of the same hole. (Maybe it was 26, I forget). It turned out to be a pretty big hole by the time I was done, but I can count 'em all as being "in the same hole".

    The funny thing was, all but two of the coins were 1944 Wheat cents! They were obviously pretty new when they had been dropped, too. The other two coins were earlier Wheaties. One was a 1917-D or something like that.

    Congratulations- it's always fun to keep track of your "records", and try to top yourself.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Great work Mary!

    My personal best is maybe 10-12, and they were all modern pennies.
