Bummer GS , but it was bound to happen sooner or later ...I am sure that will get back into some nice boxes soon and there is no doubt you will dial onto another silver vein , HH Ed

7 skunks in 9 boxes so far this year. (doing 3 a week for now, just for the 2008's I need that I don't have yet)

That's 77% skunks this year. Which is LOWER than my skunk average for all of 2008! That was over 90%.

So don't feel bad about your "first one ever".

A couple years ago, I had 4 skunk boxes in a row, and was really bummed out about it. I had one more box at the bank waiting for me and didn't even feel like doing it.

BUT no real certified-lunatic-obsessed-coin-roll-hunter can just leave a box there, so I searched it and found 128 keepers. You never know what's in the next one. ;D

i have had plenty of skunks, just have to take the bad with the good. i think most would agree they have more good boxes than bad, i mean if it were not the case i don't think this hobby would be so popular

Out of the 25 boxes that I have done I've had 14 skunk boxes. Best box had a mere 21. I'll catch a good one before the year is out.
