I've established a pretty good rhythm and have been searching 2 to 3 K in halves for a month now, some bags but mostly boxes, and I've finally found a silver at the end of a roll! It felt soooo good to open the 1st of 2 boxes from my Indiana p/u bank to find my first 64' Kennedy staring at me! Stood out like a sore thumb....
Turned out to be my best overall day yet: 2-90s, 6-40s, and 8 2006-12s.
I decided not to open the roll with the 64' at the end until the next time I have my kids. They have been getting into this with me, and they've helped me search a box the last few times they have been with me. My 9 yr old son found his first silver last time, and I let him keep it. My 7 yr old daughter is more into it than him, but she hasn't gotten lucky yet. She was a little disappointed that her brother hit one before her. So I plan to sneak the roll into her pile to make sure she is the next to hit!! (I do have to admit it is hard to wait to see what might be behind that 64!)
Side note, but I have been itching to bring it up: I know it's called an end-roll find, but shouldn't it be called a roll-end find? End roll would insinuate that it was what was found in your last roll, not at the end of any roll. Sorry, but I'm just too much of a nerd. I can see why my ex-wife divorced me

Call it whatever you want. There is no wrong answer in what to call it. Anyway congrats on your finds. Welcome to the hobby/addiction & TNET. May you find many more with your kids.
