    Never tried bags of halves before - 3-K tomorrow -


    My favorite teller says " I don't have boxes but I can sell you 3k in bags of halves - what have
    you experienced with bag vs. box hunting ? do the same factors apply to bags ? I would have
    to think so - as this is what the trucks are taking to the regional re-rolling centers . Your
    opinions are most welcome here ! Argentium.

    I think the odds are better due to the fact you really can't roll search then dump them back. Most likely they never been searched and others on here had great success finding lots of 40%.

    Bags are the best in my experience but very hard to come buy. I've only had one skunk bag and that was when the teller unsealed it, counted and pulled the silver. My best bag had 69 Bens and Walkers. Nearly all of the bags I've purchased were $500.00 and contained between 25-80 keepers.
    Go for it!

    Good luck

    Was going to say that. I dump to bags and pick up bags that others dump into. Only becase someone other than the silver hunter also runs their silver through the machine. If the bank has bags and you know you are in a CRH'er territory, most likely they are his/her dumps.
