I've found 7 so far.

5 were from one box and 2 came in another box.

Haven't found any more in a year though.

A milestone for me...

1943 Walker (not my first) as my first walker ender.

Also the only coin out of 4 boxes...

Go figure.

What is a Franklin Mint Elvis Collection? Never heard of that one. Nice finds everyone. I took a look back at the beginning of this thread back in 2009. It seems the amount of silver people are finding has not changed much over the past 3 years. Are you guys seeing a drop in the amount of silver or is it about the same? I only started searching halves last November I believe, I was collecting copper before I realized I was wasting my time. Once I found how much silver is still out there its a no brainer. Always remember to "LOVE THE HUNT"!

I found GOLD in roll today.

2 boxes.

Box 1 had a 40%er, 2 40% 1976 UNC, a proof, some NIFC, and a McDonalds Monopoly game piece.

Box 2 had a 40%er and what I thought was a piece of string ended up being part of a 10K gold necklace that was caught in the end crimp and hidden inside of the roll. The other piece of it is probably floating around out there in another roll.

Went into Wells Fargo today and pickup one 1, 68 Kennedy. Dumped my coins and came home with silver. Bringing home any silver is a good day. "LOVE THE HUNT"!

BISHFTL, How long has it taken you to get through 587,980 coins searched? Also whom here has been half searching the longest. I know it is not me because I started November 2013 give or take a month.
