nice score arby, gotta like numbers like that! the 2 boxes more than made up for the skunks :-)

my bank did not get the shipment before they closed, so I am assuming I will get those 2 boxes on Monday.

Just a delay I guess. Good luck to all!

Skibdib, it is a game of numbers for sure, Its difficult to be successful only purchasing 1 box at a time, I am blessed I can do 12 boxes a week, and at times is difficult getting my goal of 10 pieces of silver a week. I am very happy with the Start of November. Today is my two year anniversary searching and posting on this blog. Its been an amazing two years. I have pulled approximately 725 ounces of silver since I started. 3212 pieces of silver. I told my bank I am going to need another safety deposit box very soon. I really need to think about getting a safe I guess, it should save me money in the long run. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good safe? Wishing you all the best.

Arby has all the luck

2 boxes from yesterday.

Box 1 skunked.

Box 2 2 40%ers and a Walker.

2 boxes today. Both each had a Magicians coin. I haven't found one of those in a long time and today I found 2. I'd rather find silver.

What year is your Walker Jack? I haven't pulled a Magicians coin in a while or a 74D DDO.

Have a local bank I added to my circuit. Last 4 weeks I've bought $3.50 face, receiving 3 40% halves. When I bought my latest 40%, I told the cashier that she takes good care of me.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/SentrySafe-SF...ds=SFW123DSB
It's fireproof, waterproof and very strong and sturdy. I highly recommend it.

Great numbers!! I've been at it about a year, but my numbers are nowhere near as impressive as yours. I've only got about 10% of what you have. It seems you're just in a great area that must not be heavily searched.

I like searching halves for a few reasons. First is for the silver, compared to dimes. $500 dollar box usually gets me maybe 2 dimes (.144) worth of silver. One Half Dollar box usually nets me on average 2-3 40% half's and the occasional 90% (more silver) and easier to work. Reason 3 is that the coin counter never miscounts half's and never shorted till this last week. I have noticed my last 6 boxes short 2-3 dollars worth. I open up the box and see the short roll. o| Anyone experienced this lately or how often are you shorted when searching halfs. I hate finding one 40%er in a box an being shorted 2 bucks. Might as well buy them.

I ran into problems with short rolls a few times, but not too often. I think the worst box I ever got was short $2.00 or $2.50. I've also noticed in my case sometimes if I have a roll that's a coin short there will also be a roll in the same box that's got an extra coin.

Carlos, I have had that issue as well, Last month I was shorted approximately $15.00 and the only saving grace is the silver. So far this month I have been shorted $2.50. Its has been a problem with one bank they started opening boxes and returning them to the feds. I as the bank manager not to worry about it because there are times I make out by a couple of bucks too, plus I don't want them sending boxes back just in case there is silver in them. I would rather search them. I don't mind the shortest too much as long as I score silver. "LOVE THE HUNT!"

Arby I never knew you were a bank manager no wonder you can get so many boxes since you probably place the orders.....hey a good perk of your job I guess. You tell your employees to hold silver if they get them from customers?
