Yeah.......you have to be "hardcore".....but really, I prefer the term "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" !
You just have GOT to be O.C.D. to do this on a consistent basis ! ...
I liken it to the "Gold Fever" from the 1800's....everyone thinks they have perfect self control.....UNTIL THEY FIND IT ! (in this case Silver) .....then they're hooked !
Or....it's like gambling......it's easy to not be a gambler if you've only gone a few times and never really had much luck and it's just never been exciting or any big deal whatsoever, a and you're fine with never going again.......BUT...... if you hit a slot machine for a few hundred bucks or more....or win 18 out 20 hands at Blackjack or whatever. THEN THEY NOW GOT YA !
The addiction begins ! ....
Once you start finding Silver.....or other nice "keepers".....the "bug" can bite HARD !
.......... ... ... That's exactly how it is. Now, try explaining that to my wife... PS: If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around, am I still wrong? |

Ah, explaining it to the wife.
She sees a $500 withdrawal, and even though there are deposits (dump money) back into the account over the next couple of days, she still feels like its costing a fortune. I've explained, hey, if I'm going to have a hobby, shouldn't it be collecting MONEY!
LOL. She is currently not commenting, as I sold a little over $500 in silver pulled from searches (1/4 of my finds are sold). Of course, I also bought about $500 in other stuff for my collections along with a gift for her.

Good morning!
Hang on to your silver! Silver has increased about $2/oz. in the past 30 days! Let's see it get to $30/oz, how awesome would that be...

Well, I think it's a good investment, not sure about more than $22 an ounce, but even that would be a great appreciation. As mentioned, I keep 75% of what I find, and auction off the rest to use to fund my habit/hobby.
Yesterdays finds represent a better than 10% profit for that $500 bag I went through. I'll be listing a 40% roll, for which I will make 5-6x face based on recent experience. Should be a nice slabbed coin addition coming to my collection soon thanks to that listing.

Yep!
TD Bank by me, the .50 cent bag fills every $100.00 dollars and it's a real pain if you are trying to dump a box ($500.00) back.
They have to dump the bag and re-load 5 times!
I try and dump on slow off peak hours at this bank so as not to tick them off too much!
I have other banks that I dump that take $1000.00 to fill the half bags thank goodness!

Man - I'm doing dumps in $98 increments to not incur a fee. I need to research other banks and see if I'll need an account.

Had a great day today! I bought $320.00 in customer rolls and ended up with 413 40% and 1 90%!! Holy Crap what a pull! All you silver searchers don't get down after a few bad days, keep going and you will be rewarded. Thanks to Chase Bank for the generous donation!

Hybes, I hate you!!!
j/k, of course, but my finds have stunk big time......very sparse. My banks have no halves ever when I go in, and they both tell me I am the only one looking for them. Of course, nobody is dumpnig either to my knowledge.
I am at the point that when I pick up my halves the next time I am going to tell them not to order any more....the finds are too sparse to justify the running around, withdrawing $$, dumping, etc.
I need some old bag to dump their 50 yr old mattress $$ in right before I get there.
