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

That's a great story! I love tales like this.
Here's another...
Charles, Pretty boy Floyd was obviously another well know bank robber, but despite his life of crime, he was viewed positively by the general public. When he robbed banks he would destroy mortgage documents, which freed many citizens of their debts. He was even protected by citizens of Oklahoma, who referred to him as "Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills".
Dillinger and others of the era did similar things and never robbed the public, only the banks... Ahh... What an era to live in...
And I agree that metal detecting is a great way... And IMHO the machine doesn't matter as much as where your looking.. I bought my first machine well before I started collecting coins again.... to find a pistol (which I did in all of 5 minutes, a Seecamp .32) that fell out of it's holster while hunting, just a cheepo Bounty Hunter... But I started hunting for coins with that and though I now have a better machine I've never topped my first and best find, and it was with the bounty hunter.... Not silver but an 1820 small date large cent in AU... Possibly MS, preserved beautifully in he western mass soil .
Oh Yeah , I can picture the headline the FBI is after the prolific nickel,dime and quarter robber 
but thats another story ....
That is awesome!!
