Pre-end of February update
With only a week left in the month of February its evident that the total for this month is going to wreck the total for January. This is partly due to the fact that I wasn't in school for much of the month of January but also because I had some really good days with big finds. Due to this fact my current jar is reaching its capacity and ill have to look for a new one to accommodate my findings.

The January Totals Post
The month of January was quite a surprise to me. I found well above what I was expecting to find. I also had the opportunity to look in less than mundane places for coins including my University and Las Vegas.
The total count for the month of January is 2 dollars and 22 cents. I cannot wait to see how much this total grows in the next 11 months.
I have made a few observations that I would like to share with you guys.
The first thing I have found myself doing is scanning the roads while im driving for glimmering pieces of metal in the street. Although I have only positively spotted something once, (I didnt even retrieve the coin because it would have been gravely unsafe) I remain scanning the roads.
Another strange urge that I have been getting involves fountains. At my university, there is a fountain that is for decorative purposes only. It is not generally used as a wishing well. Regardless of this social understanding, people will from time to time throw their change inside. I have been super tempted to reach inside of the fountains to grab the change that im certain that someone else is grabbing.
The last thing that I have noticed how there are certain places that are just prone to having change around them. The two places that found coins on a regular basic are on the bus and by vending machines. There were certain places I have looked where I would find multiple coins. By the copy machines at school I will usually find more than one coin. I will see if this pattern continues in the next months.
