Well I went on a hunting expedition today and hit several small town banks in my area. I picked up a grand total of $1047.50 in halves. One bank that was way out of the way in a little one horse town had $2.00 in halves so I went ahead and got them and I'll be darned there wasn't a 2004 S proof on top of the stack. I picked up $600 at another bank and hit the jackpot. They must have had these in the vault for awhile. I opened 5 STRAIGHT ROLLS OF SOLID SILVER :o!!! the last roll had 12-90% and 8-40%. My final total was 62 Franklins, 21 Walkers, 9-1964 JFK, and 29-40% along with a 2004 S proof and a 1986 S proof. I'm glad no one else was home when I opened these cause I was laughin like a freakin idiot ;D. Can't wait to do some more huntin but I'm not sure it will ever be the same ;).

Thanks for all the replies and kind words. I am still shocked everytime I think about it. Maybe I will roll them up just so I can open them again ;D.

Immy: The oldest walker is 1935.

try this and let me us know how you do...
got back to the banks where you got all the silver from and ask for the large type dollar coins. remember NOT the small new ones ask for the large ones might get lucky!

I did ask and they had none :(. I try to remember to ask at every bank I go to and have not found any yet, but maybe someday. For now I will just enjoy the 2 ikes my grandpa gave me years ago.

No I haven't tried $2.00 bills. What do I look for? LAdy at one bank said she had a whole bunch and that I was more than welcome to clean them out. May have to try it someday, but havin to much fun with halves right now.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY nice!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on what will probably be an unbeatable day, but on that one I'd LOVE to be wrong...:):) Great job and keep at it, you;re on a roll (no pun intended...:) ) hell, I;m running around swinging my detector trying to find a silver half and then dig it out of the ground, and you go and find something like that just by walking into some banks...WTG!!!!! I think after your post, there may be alot more competition out there for you...:):) Hope you do at least half as well next time around...:)
