I should add for completeness that since my snag of those rolls of pure silvers, I've gone through at least $500 in dimes without finding so much as one thin silver dime. Its frustrating how prospecting seems to have such a 'feast or famine' element to it.

I went through ten rolls of dimes today and got a 1956, I know it's silver but is that a good ratio, I mean only ONE silver dime out of ten rolls?

I think it's a pretty good ratio. I searched through 2 boxes and didn't find any. I think finding any silver in dime or quarter rolls is very good. People have been pulling silver from circulation for 40+ years, and quarters and dimes actually circulate. Half dollars on the other hand basically have been sitting around in piggy banks and such as a nest egg, or whatever for years. When people run short on cash and take halves to the bank...I'm more than happy to take them off the banks hands!

When I search dime or quarter rolls, I'm looking for the very elusive 09's. Silver is an unexpected treat!
