Other Ways To Get Free Silver Other Than CRHing.....

What do they give you?

Ok this is kind of shady and you can't really do it with much results these days but here it goes...

In the early 1980's my dad was in a lodge thing, like the Shriners but not. They asked for someone to help out with a charity drive and he volunteered my brother and I to collect for it. Every time we collected anything we'd bring it home pull all the silver and he would replace it with paper of the same value or more.

The charity would have just deposited it at face value or someone else along the way would have taken it, like I said, not like it would work too well these days, hard enough to find it in rolls.

My father did something similar. He was an usher @ church. He was responsible for counting the collection after mass. This was '65 to '68, until he was transferred.

what is a bottle bill state?

When my wife's uncle was a teenager (early 70s) he worked for a guy who ran a gas station. Silver was still common-ish in change back then, and the owner would offer a discount for customers who paid entirely in silver dimes/quarters etc. That would be more difficult to pull off today, but I think it's a neat idea to offer a "cash discount" for customers who pay in precious metals. Since the customers get instant payoff, you could probably pull off offering 80-90% melt value and get a decent turnout.

There's also bank/train robbing to consider--a tried and true way to get free silver!

Do you think guns and ammo are FREE!?!?

Not to mention sugar cubes, apples, oats and hay for the horses

Then again after they catch you you'll be getting free room and board and 3 meals a day for the rest of your life

Funny little story about Frank and Jesse James, they were on the run after a bank robbery once.

They stopped at an old farm house asking for water and maybe some food. The old lady was more than happy to let them have what ever they wanted because she was going to have to move it all out. She told them that the banker was coming later that day to foreclose on her house.

The James boys asked how much she owed, a pittance to them - a kings ransom to her. They pulled the cash out of their bags and handed it to her. "How can I ever repay you?"... "no that is what we own you for lunch" not exact quotes but you get the idea.

Later that afternoon the banker was not happy leaving the old ladies house, pockets full of cash, as she ripped up the deed and bid him farewell forever. The banker was even less happy when 2 masked gunmen stopped him on the road and stole every single cent he had... including the stack of bills they had just given to the old lady

Fistfull

What was the brand and model of that detector?
I have a Garrett AT Gold I have found some silver and gold but most areas are hunted out or it's my detector.

Maybe your buddy's is a better unit.
Thanks and Happy Hunting
