I can't believe this! I'm trying to catch my breath... Ok, ok, whew! So I went to the bank today and picked up a box of dimes. Looked at the first roll, about 5 silver Rosie's! I was like... Wow! But then I opened the 2nd roll, and the 3rd... Silver everywhere! Here's a picture of the 3rd roll:

After just 5 rolls, here's my haul:

Ok, back to it... I'll post final numbers when I'm done!

Miracle Box. The Public the old most likely dumped their coins and you just lucked out. I bet you can hardly feel your feet,hands are all worked up and eyes are about to pop.

Go do everything today you like along with searching your box. Favorite drink,food or anything else you like to do and stack it up.

do your boxes have # stamps on them? If so, chase down boxes with the same # stamp. Start where you got this one. If there are other branches of the same bank, you can try them also for boxes with the same stamp #. heck where I live, I can go to completely different banks and get boxes with same #, as they come from the same delivery service.

That is a huge silver spill and definitely goes across multiple boxes, I would guess maybe even 5 or more boxes. If you havnt started a hunted dime book, now may be the time. Cant wait for updates!

Ok, half the box is done (I'm not getting any work done today)! All are Rosie's, the oldest is 1949. So far, 132 silvers found! I'll post final figures at the end. In the meantime, let the fruit dance...

I recovered 750ish wheats across 5 boxes in a wheat spill, and my biggest box only had 198. If you have a box with 300, that is part of a large large silverspill. total coins out there must be over 1000! And who knows if this box has the most or not! argh good luck!

Wow, I'd be dancing an Irish jig if I found that and I'm not even Irish.

How many dimes in a box? Is it 5000 like pennies?

I would definitely also recommend to go get another 2 boxes if possible.

Great find.
