I don't believe un-searched rolls exist so I don't buy em and especially paying a premium for em on E-bay.

I still consider myself a newb and have racked up 200+ silvers including Morgan and Peace dollars, Barber halves, seateds, large cents, IH's and the list goes on and on. If I can do it anyone can. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

fistfulladirt I would love to go metal detecting. It is illegal in Illinois.
However, there are MD clubs and they sell the equipment so there's a loophole I don't know about.

I've heard it said before, I don't think their is such a thing as an unsearched roll. In searching bank rolls, I can determine how much silver is in a roll by weighing the roll. I think all roll sales on ebay are marketed so carefully so you can't really prove they are scamming you. I get my "unsearched" rolls from the bank for face value. Edited by everything

well said everything I can tell you if a roll definatly has no silver in it without opening wich is probably what they are doing but people still buy them.

I wouldnt buy an "unsearched" roll on ebay, imo it's a waste of money that could be used to buy the exact coin you want, but I admot some of those rolls are tempting but probably too good to be true. |

Buddy, where did you hear it is illegal in Illinois? Maybe it is illegal on state property, but I would think that it is legal in other public areas unless the town or county has a law against it. Private property should also still be legal.

Sorry -- missed your reply -- apparently for a whole week.
Anyway, I have been digging up stuff in my own yard for twenty years. I got interested in metal detecting and looked online to see what was allowed and where I could go do it. And I saw some law that said it was illegal except on private property -- so I could MD all over my itty-bitty yard.
What I read seemed strange to me so I checked with my sister, the judge, and she said it was in fact illegal.
I've never seen anybody doing it here -- ever.
It's too bad. But like I wrote before, there are MD clubs in IL (none near me) so they must go somewhere. I suppose that they get permission to go searching on farm fields during the non-growing season.

ebay rolls are fine, as long as you pay a maximum of 5 cents per coin INCLUDING shipping. They will not be "unsearched" as such rolls really do not exist.

WOW. Yeah, I didn't want to flip it over to see if it was an S-VDB so I could sell it for a hundred times more, so here you go. 30 bucks. Where do you guys usually find your hauls when metal detecting? I know there's a forum for this but just briefly, where do people hunt?
