Poll Question
There are 4 different armored carrier companies in my city
and adjacent local towns that p/u and deliver to all of the banks and credit unions. loomis, brinks, dunbar and garda.
Have hit a dead end on any finds recently in boxes from loomis and dunbar. I know all of the banks that use them both.
Brinks and garda I have not checked lately. Anyone else finding ziltch from loomis and dunbar ?
Wondering if they are on to any silver now and are not rolling it. Curious if different in your part of the country on these carriers. I'm in Mass. By the way I am talking only about half's.

Where I'm at I only get Brinks boxes. I have had some luck with them, but not that often.

In my last six years hunting, I've found that as far as boxes of coin go, Brinks stinks.

The armored companies or couriers are not in business to pull silver coin, especially now with low silver prices. They make their money picking up, rolling, and re-distributing coin. Some will say they talked to a courier, or they know a friend that has cousin who's neighbor works for a carrier, and that they pick silver. Or that they hire teens in the summer to sit around a huge hopper and pull 90% silver - ha ha!
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
