Yes you can still find Franklin halves. Not very often, but every now and then one shows up. Even Walking Liberties show up on occasion.

11 40% in one box is an excellent find, congrats.

I've searched 4 boxes of halfes. Found 1 franklin out of the 4 boxes. Last 2 boxes have been skunks, not the first 40% or anything. Taken a break for a bit since more and more of my disposable cash goes in my gas tank and grocery bill (sigh). That is a great start.

I picked up another $400 from another bank yesterday.

No silver, but did find 2 2005 NIFC's, so I'm still a happy camper.

I'll take them all back monday and cash out.

I know another bank that has about $700 in their vault just waiting for me to pick up.

Do you call ahead? How do you know what they have in their vault? I've been tempted to just call instead of show up and be told they don't have any...

I own a locksmith company and we do a lot of bank service work (and have for many years) so I have become good friends with many employee's at many banks.

Normally I just ask when I am working at one of the banks what they have or if I am working inside the main vault, I'll just glance around.

Bankers talk to each other and my friends ask around other banks for me to see if they have any halves and call me when they find some.
