eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 03/01/2010 2:15 pm WOW ! .... ......YOU'RE QUICK Lafaa .... Quote: and is it even worth attempting? I hear the finds are far and slim... That part.....well.......the majority of "roll searchers" DO NOT like doing Dimes. If you have good eye sight going in.....you won't when your done with a box of Dimes ! .... There are certainly a few who find the occasional Silver Dime (or other abnormality !)....but it isn't often enough to warrant the great effort, time, and energy in pursuing those. The "rewards" need to be a little more often for most of us to "keep at it", and most don't get that "reward" from doing Dimes. Edited by eaglefoot 03/01/2010 2:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
