I went on a rural half hunting trip today to the NE of the city I live in. 12 banks, all had nothing..... $65 in halves, nothing. A lot of tellers saving them themselves or someone getting them all just recently. Are these typical results for you guys? First time I ever hunted in that direction....was new territory to me. Other directions have turned out well...

I've never been hunting to the NE of your city. ::) Seriously, it's like that everywhere with more competition. Lotta new folks on here thinking they are gonna get rich! Ain't gonna happen. If you think you're going to find a ton of silver then forget it. Best way to find it now is to try to buy under melt.

That's pretty much what I got. I got it so much...and I'm seeing everyone else gets it a lot....I'm starting to think it is a B.S. line...

I think just about every time I've been told that they "already checked them for silver", I actually found silver ::)

ever since silver shot up competition shot up , so now i bank hunt less and box hunt more

I have been pondering doing more than just 1 box a week, but I've been pretty luck with CWR hunting the last 2 weeks. I guess I've been too afraid, as my pick-up bank is also the Credit Union I use personally for all of my business. I love this Credit Union and don't want to make the tellers too angry with having to handle a lot of heavy half boxes. I guess I'll just need to have a nice conversation with them on the phone on Monday. Thanks for the tip!
