You reap what you sow. I know roll hunters on other forums are pulling pounds of silver each month. You have to put forth effort, shoot, I've only searched less than 10 grand this year and have harvested almost 80 silver coins...I roll hunted in 1979 and 80, LOTS of roll hunters then and silver dried up...price crashed, and silver started piling up again in vaults across the country. It's still out there.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Definitely a factor.

I quit roll hunting when the finds almost completely ceased. It was no longer worth the time.

Like Jbuck, I myself have been a credit union member but for all of my life. My grandfather was one of the founders of this
particular CU. I also have an account at another local CU.
They do not give or take coin unless you are a member. Ordering boxes is at their discretion. Be nice and get to know
everyone and they will oblige. Just keep it down to a couple of boxes of the bigger stuff per month. Customer rolls are worthwhile to grab. Like mentioned, just get a few dump banks.
Just today I got over 500 ikes from a teller. They were thrilled to see them gone. If I want boxes I put my order in
when the CU/Bank orders their own coin. That way the cost is minimal to them. Actually you are saving the banks money by taking their extra customer coin. Biggest problem now is the coin machines. The coins go into bags and those bags will not be sold to a customer or member because the counts are not accurate. They let the armored truck service co.
pick up and they do the counting etc. Overall you do much better with customer wrapped rolls than boxes etc. There are 4 transport co's in my area. Loomis, Dunbar, Garda and Brinks. Loomis is the worst. They cherry pick at the plant.
I know

My pickup bank is very profitable actually. I get a box of pennies a week, and no matter what teller you get, you get the box. And when they run out of boxes, they order more! Doesn't seem like its slowing down for me, but you never know... With the influx of CRHers around, the competition might become too much for them...
