ENDS......
HALA- FREAKING- LUJA
Boxes 88 89 90 91 were all skunks this morning- was going to post asking everyone to chime in with "bets" when the streak would end but thought na I got 2 more boxes to pick up-
So box 92 skunk :-( it was so full of 2007's probabky close to 100 of em and not a single marked coin so I just though hmmm maybe a sign?
Open box 93 and about halfway through I rim search like normal nothing stands out and then I flip it to face search and I hear the most beautiful sound ive hears in a LONG time- I quickly rush through to find it and there it was, a very dirty '68 finally- and then 2 rolls later a very shiny rimmed '64

Now I need to hit a big ag vein

CONGRATS!! :occasion14: That is some serious dedication to finding silver for face value!

I think I would have given up... i mean i have tons of patience, but dangggg 90+ boxes and no silver...

How long of a time period was this streak?

Its been since beginning of June I believe-
Ive found loose teller trays here and there- maybe around 5 in that time-

I wont quit till I get a big time box- may never see a dream box (100+) but for me id love to see anywhere between 30-50, rolls with 3-4 in each one- and even then wont quit ;-)

Honestly its been tough coming on here regularly seeing all the great finds causing lots of jealousy but it has been whats kept me going-

My longest skunk is only 15 boxes. If things aren't working, you gotta shake it up regularly. 3 weeks of skunks and I would be switching things around.

Way to break that streak Iamrussell! I have stopped hunting due to a mass of issues the last few weeks, (water heater blew up, wife's car blew two tires and a storm tore half my roof off of the house.......I am still stuck on box #67 of my skunk streak, but seeing you push through and get that silver is awesome. I hope to follow you soon after I get back on my feet. HH:thumbsup:
