What is typical for a dime box

[Will45]

I have started doing some dimes so far have found some American and foreign silver. I was wondering how much silver I should expect out of one dime box.

For me it's about 1 per box. Today I got three boxes. 1st had 2, 2nd had 0, third had 1.

On average it takes me over 4 boxes to find my first silver searching dimes.

1 per box. I don't even search dime boxes anymore, as the returns are so low.

Ya my avg dropped to under 1 per box and haven't seached them much lately because

I've been running about 1.5 per box based on 2 years hunting, with about 8 to 12 boxes per week.

depends on location some of us kill it with dimes and others not so much as you can see by the other posts.

Been into dimes steadily since '07, just under 2 per box. The four boxes I did last week gave up 7.

1 per box.

2-3 every 4 boxes.

In 2013 my average in 1.43 silver dimes per $250 searched
90% of boxes have 0-2 silver dimes
By searching a high volume > 10 boxes per week, you can find the 3-20 dime boxes.

My 2013 average is 1.19 silver dimes per $250 out of about $67,000 searched.
