I hear people can search boxes of half dollars in 30 minutes perhaps even 15 minutes. But can you do it in 3 minutes?

If only each of my boxes turned out like this one...

Remember to switch to HD.

Hope you all like it.

If only it took 3 minutes to search one of those boxes. Maybe then I'd be willing to accept the amount of skunk boxes you will inevitably get. Nice video!

I'd have to search about 120 boxes to find that many keepers.

We don't get the boxes here, just thick plastic bags with the paper rolls stacked inside.

I should get a cpl more 500 dollar bags tomorrow. If I don't get anything this time, I might just give it up and stick with pennies.

Raymo, that's what happened with me. I got a couple $500 boxes, and quickly gave up after never finding a silver or even a proof. They were too hard to dump, so I just went back to my nickels. If I had 1/2 the success of the OP I would have stuck with it.

Raymo - I've had very little luck looking through bags of half dollars. Boxes really are hit or miss.

NYBrian - I'm about to give up on Nickels, they are time consuming but I am finding keepers.

Thanks for the comments and for checking to the video and my blog. I am currently working on a nickel sorting video, and perhaps a full length (multi-box) half search. I'll put them up later this week.

Raymo that means a lot so thank you! It's a new camera so I wasn't sure how to focus it.

I nearly completed the nickel video, but because it took longer to sort the coin, the video may not appear to be one fluid movement (start - finish). So not sure if it'll be as enjoyable. I have decided to add a better 'money shot' at the end of the video.
