Picked up four boxes yesterday and cracked them open this morning, 3 skunks, box 3 had one roll with 8 pieces of silver, no other silver in the box, how does that happen. I thought for sure I would be opening more rolls with silver after that one but nope. What are the odds of that? Also pulled 2-NIFC.  All From One Roll!

5 boxes last night box 1: 7,40% box 2: 13,40% box 3: 19,40% boxes 4 & 5 skunks I stopped at a bank I have not ordered from in a couple of weeks to place an order. The teller said I have 5 boxes do you want them, sure I said. So it was a lucky find  after last weeks 2,40% in 9 boxes it was a welcome find. Best of luck to everyone, Happy hunting.

@ arby, that one roll probably went rogue from the herd of awesome rolls that you encountered recently. A separated remnant from a monster box, thats why its stacked so thick with silver.
@ trapper, excellent haul! Its amazing to walk into a bank and be able to pick up half dollar boxes that you did not order. and excellent results taboot! I'm working on some images, I did good yesterday too.
looks like the week is starting well, good luck all, I hope that silver river continues to flow!

Trapper 6 oz of silver is an awesome haul, That would not happen here in my town just finding 5 boxes in a bank no one ordered. Well I guess its possible someone might order them and not pick them up. Skibdib need more of those rogue rolls, many more. looking forward to your pictures.

One roll + $2.50 loose= nothing. Most were from the 1970s, so I'll probably just spend them since it's not a lot of money.

arby96 All the silver in 1 roll that is amazing. The 5 boxes they ordered for me, 2 weeks ago I told a teller to tell the gal that does the ordering not to order any more boxes for me. The message failed to get relayed to her. So when I came in to reorder they had 5 boxes waiting for me I did not know about. Thank the lord.

I see the silver river is flowing good this week in some parts of the country, hope my boxes come from the same river. Nice finds trapper and skibdib. Arby it's a shame you didn't get the other 49 rolls that went with the one good one you got. I think I've had boxes where there were only 2 pieces of silver in the box and both being in the same roll, but only 8 pieces and in the box and all in the same roll has to be some long odds. I picked up 4 boxes this afternoon. I've searched one box so far and will post totals when I finish for the week.

Here are the totals: Box 1= (12) 40% & 2 proofs Box 2= (18) 40%----> 3 enders Box 3= 1x 1964 Box 4= skunk Box 5= (8) walkers Box 6= 1 proof Total silver haul = 30 silver 40% and 9 silver 90% ... Not too shabby Just ordered 4 more boxes of halves and 1k bag of halves off their machine along with a 1k bag of dimes as well... This bank is turning out to be a dream bank... I talked to the manager today regarding ordering me ike's and he is going to look into it for me so who know's maybe I will get lucky... God I love credit unions :-)

Chet, awesome score, you too Skidbid you didn't disappoint with those photos. I finished up four boxes today, 2 skunks, 2-90%ers 1-43 Walker, 1-51 Franklin, and 1-67, and one gold plated Shmukhead gold plated coin. I think I will try acetone and get that sticker off. Gold plating looks in good shape. So reached my goal plus 1 for the week with 4 boxes to open tomorrow. Two of my coin machines are down, I hope they will be fixed by tomorrow. Those boxes I picked up yesterday with that one roll with 8 pieces of silver, I am praying next week some more will show up. That is the same bank I pulled 250 from last month, so I hoping there are more out there. Glad to see the silver river flowing. Hope it keeps up for all of you.  Can't beat a Walker and a Benny in one roll.
