Started Nickels and Dimes in in March and Halves I got into about November for the silver hunting hobby. Hope this coming year I at least double my finds.   Carlos |

Nice haul. You beat me by 3oz!! But I only searched 10k in mixed. Free silver is the best!

Free silver? So you guys have banks right next door, or you ride a bike?
If I count my time and gas, my roll hunted silver costs on average, $100 an oz.
Nice finds Carlos, and chart - you did well with nickels!
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Most of the time my dumps are on my way home from work. Except for on the weekends. That's when I start from home.

Any idea of your stats on nickels for buff or V? Just curious what your other finds looked like in 109 boxes. I'm thinking of searching more nickels in 2015, probably did $350ish total with no war, buff or v.
I mostly did boxes of cents (no organized stats to share) and halves usually by the til or customer wrapped with pretty good success when I could find them in stock.

Just counted up my halves. 6x 1964 and 3 x Franklin. 62 x 40%. 9.1694 ounce in 40% and 3.2553 = 12.4247... You beat me! Although most of mine came in 2 good scores with an occasion 40% mixed in rolls, so might be tough for me to repeat or beat this year. I didn't search as much as you in weight, but probably in bank stops checking for halves. Good luck to everyone in 2015!

This might be my bonus for not having a dump bank, since I need to get the money out of the bank to have on hand for groceries (it is just my system, I could leave it in the bank, but when I run out of cash I better learn to eat cheaper!) and then spend the coins on groceries. So for me the silver found is free since I was going to the bank anyway! Nice haul on the silver. |
