Nice finds bishftl! Hey dude, you should have kept picking up boxes from that Wells Fargo where you saw me turning in bags! They said they had an extra box that they accidently ordered with the last ones you picked up, and holy crap! It was a dream box! Just over $1000 in melt value. This is what happens when you switch things up haha!

you're a terrible liar.

70 boxes completed this week, biggest hunt I've ever done in a week, as well as doing 35 boxes in one day. Had a lot of skunk boxes loaded with my coins I've marked, I'm starting to get a ton of them back despite me picking up and dumping into different logisitics handling companies. I had a couple boxes that saved the day, primarily one that had 26 90% in it. Totals: 82 '65-'69 40%, 34 '64 90%, 23 '49S-'63D Franklins, 6 walkers from the '40s, 1 1952 80% canadian. Melt value of (not that I would ever get it because of the 40%,) $1008.53 HH.



and we've already seen what happens when you change things up. good try.

^^ Why are you just making this up putting words in my mouth? I never said any of that, source your information! I found all of this in the last box you forgot to pick up!! Ask the bank yourself!

was bored so I went out at midnight to pick up 50 boxes of halves and took along my girl to help me load all of them in my H2 Hummer. I took them all to a bar, when me and my girl got a drink, we siffed through em, and found a whooping 345 40% Halves and just 200 90% Halves, 25% of which are barbers. Not that great but ILL TAKE IT!. But anyways, what a night :)

Silverdollar2011,

Would love to see some pictures of this mega find. Not bad by any means.

Jwguts,

Dry runs do happen and sometimes for a while. I was in a not-so-great run myself over the last few
weeks and finally got two nice boxes last week. I am hoping I have depleted a supply source to where
I am getting to older coins, but I know that is more likely wishful thinking than reality.

Hang in there, and I wish luck to come your way soon.

Kenscott... crhstreetwalker and silverdollar are both full of it... especially silverdollar... where could you possibly pick up 50 boxes of halves at MIDNIGHT? Not to mention going to the bar and not getting stolen from with that much? Come on.

Eventually these two (or one) clown(s) will slip up and we'll see them for the BSers they are or they'll eventually get banned for not following board rules.

Thanks for the sympathies, but don't worry about me. I traded in my Rolls this morning for four pallets of half dollars. I set up a high speed sorting machine at work, and processed all the coins in just a few hours. Found enough silver to buy a Yugo. Now I'm set.

@ halfhunter

well this should rest the case of anyone pulling silver out right? from the looks of the video, it didnt look they had much time to sort it out, unless they calibrate their machines by weight? in which case it would have to be pretty sensitive right? we are taking .10-.50 grams?

just finished my latest two boxes, skunk on Silver, that makes a 5 box streak, did find a nice 81-S and 21 NIFC's though so I guess it wasn't a total waste, does seem like the silver is drying up though, at least around Houston.
