Been hearing about husbands going CRHing with their wives and its making me feel more than a bit lonely. Use to go to coin shows with my dad and running into their bedroom to show them the new coins I found (In case anyone wants to know. I live with them, pay rent and utlities and took care of my mom while he was at work). Now I am alone and the melancholy is really getting me down. I don't mind going coin hunting and posting onto this forum, I just wish I had a friend or gentleman friend to come with me, someone who had the same zeal as me. Yeah, I know the "oh, they steal from you" or the other bits and jokes, but I am serious here. Even if it was twice of month, just go into town together, check all the credit unions, banks and stores, dump a bunch of coins as we go, go out to lunch, go check out other places. <sighs> :sadsmiley: this sucks being alone and lonely.

I had no idea this was even an active "sport" in the world of treasure hunting. I've been doing it for years and never heard of anyone else doing it... just figured I should keep my mouth shut. Apparently the cat is out of the bag though... LOL!

I would regularly go into banks in St. Louis and "order" rolls of halves. Usually $500-$1000 at a time - my entire paycheck worth. They would never have them in stock so of course they would have to order them from the federal reserve bank. I built most of my Kennedy half collection this way. Haven't done it in years though... and it's starting to sound like it's not even worth doing based on the posts out here.

Might have to try it again some day. Too bad i'm way down here in TX. I'd team up with ya in a minute!

There is a great website called meetup.com.

There are lots of already created groups formed in every area of the world for things like hiking, bible study, poetry reading, yoga, woodworking- basically anything. It's a great place to meet people and while I doubt there are many crh meetups, it's a great way to just meet people based on your hobbies. It's free. It can't hurt.

So give it a shot and once you find a buddy (or 3) that have simliar interests, you can get them into the hobby

As a kid who has lost a parent. I lost my mom at 10 now I'm 14. I would like to say that you should do the best you can to make amends with your father. You never know when death will come and you do not want to live the rest of your life with regrets.

He shouldn't make amends to his father, his father should make amends to him. Ain't talking to his own son ova 1.5 years, it sounds to me like he is the one who needs to apologize. From the sounds of it, he'd probably celebrate if he died.

I meant either one
 

I coin roll hunt with my father and dread the day when he leaves this earth. I am almost 33. If that tells you anything. I say find some common ground with your Dad and make it happen soon.

That's tough, man. If she mentioned CRHing on the way out, you know it was an issue with her. Girls always want to know that they're more important than your favorite hobby. Maybe the next girl will be really into coins...

Sorry to hear about your "Dad".....a Dad (or a Mom) is supposed to be super supportive of their child's interests, passions and dreams, not someone who pokes fun or ridicules them. Smile to yourself knowing that you're not doing ANYTHING wrong and just keep doing what makes YOU happy.

P.S. If you do end up talking to your "Dad" let him know that you were chatting with a real Dad in Mass. and he says hello.

My parents also don't want me to CRH, saying that it is a waste of gas. I guess they're right, but they only see the profit side and not the hobby side (if it was really profitable they would drive me to banks everyday, but they have no time for a hobby that is extremely time-consuming and gives little in return).

They DO NOT order them from the Federal Reserve. The coins come from a courier.

Umm... they might come VIA a courier but big orders that the bank cannot fill come from the state's federal reserve bank. "From a courier" doesn't make any sense. I don't know of any courier / shipping company who stocks rolled coins. lol

The only time they order from the Fed is when the stocks of coins at a coin courier are low. These are usually the boxes that are solid 1995s or solid 2001s.

Loomis and dunbar to name a few. They have Coin Rolling Faculties in South Seattle. They Also have Cash Counting facilities. It's not like the government takes back it's coins, and then redistributes them.
