Four Boxes of Halves -- Slow Start with a Great Finish

[Steve L.]

Folks,
Picked up four boxes on Friday. The first box only gave up one 1965. The second box gave up one 1965 and a 1967.
I was worried that the silver mine was playing out! So I took a day off: did some chores at the house, and on a lark went out for a camping trip up in the valley. Some great floating and fishing changed my luck.
Did boxes three and four today.
Box three gave up 5x 1964 and 17x 40%s (3x 1966; 7x 1967; 3x 1968-D; 3x 1969-D; and a 1970-D).
Box four gave up 7x 90%s (a 1962 Franklin and 6x 1964's) and 40x 40%s (1x 1965; 8x 1966; 12x 1967; 12x 1968-D; 6x 1969-D; and another 1970-D).
Total: 12x 90% and 60x 40%.
Happy hunting.
Steve

Good job!! I doubt all that fresh air had much to do with it though.

You must be the luckiest s.o.b. I know, Steve! Congrats on the finds. I'm glad the silver mine continues to produce and can't wait to hear about the camping trip.

BTW, you're killing the '70 D's this year. What's up with that?

[Hi Ho Silver!]

Very nice finish! Not a bad average for 4 boxes at all.

Fantastic,had to be the trip!

Obe,
Silver Stripe and Mark nailed it; the trip changed my luck! Should have taken the trip before boxes 1 and 2!

Jason,
This makes four of the 70-D's in the last couple of months. Not like our friends here on the site who have hit bunches in one box, but a nice surprise when it happens, even in "one-zies and two-zies".

Happy hunting all,
Steve
