Well, You never really know when and where you'll hit the goodies - I would recommend you go on a road trip and try some CRHing
as you go . Try to score a mix of CWR's and boxes - the different areas may hold a surprise for you - also to avoid burnout mix up
the denominations too.

I too am getting skunked big time.

I've been doing CRH for about 2 months now; still a rookie. In fact, I don't even know some of the acronyms some use. I was skeptical about some of the posts because for the first month I was almost completely skunked. I tried halves, dimes, and nickels regularly (at least 1 box of each a week and 2 a week for dimes and nickels). But last week I got a box from a local bank that produced 200 silver coins (8 Walkers, 21 Franklins, 21 '64 Kennedys, and the rest 40% Kennedys). This was the chance of a lifetime, but the point is I had to weigh through a lot of skunks before I struck. Several people told me that patience is the key to the hobby. I'm living proof. GL and HH...Brad

It's mostly 90% luck to find 90%ers

19 box skunk streak here... But it's just part of the hobby.

I don't have many long skunk streaks, neither many big scores. Slow & steady to build my stack.

You mean you had to go through 1 or 2 boxes of halves per week without finding much for a whole month or two before finding a double dream box? Wow. How ever did you persevere?

Found 2 1967 today. First finds of the year. Happy not to be skunked. A slow trickle of 40's and 90's is what I am used to. As long as they don't dry up altogether. HH!

Think of CRH like your playing a slot machine. Your not going to hit a jackpot every spin.

I've searched 14k so far this year and have only found 19 40%. No 90%.
Slow and steady!
