Hi Everyone, thought I would share our year-end round up of our half dollar CRH finds! We keep pretty detailed stats that I'll try to include as well.
Total searched: $234,861.50 ::::: 98.80ozt ::::: 500 silvers
-----455 Boxes ($227,500)-----374 silvers
90% - 92 :::: (54 x Kennedy; 20 x Ben Franklin; 17 x Walking Liberty; 1 x Barber)
---Notables:::: 1905-S Barber Ender
40% - 282 ::::
---Notables:::: 1968-S
-74.98ozt-
-----$741.50 loose/teller tray-----50 silvers
90% - 10 (two Franklin)
40% - 40
-9.53ozt-
-----$5,200 CWR-----72 silvers
90% - 10 (5 Franklin)
-12.79ozt-
-----$1,420 MWR-----4 silvers
40% - 4
-0.59ozt-
Here it all is in a pile!
Box Stats
90%/40% ratio: 1:3.07
Silvers per box: 0.82
--90% per box: 0.20
--40% per box: 0.62
$ searched to find each silver: $608.29
Oz. per box: 0.16
$ searched to find each ounce: $3,033.97
Enders: 38
Silvers per ender: 9.84 (theoretically we should find 10 silvers per ender, so pretty close)
Skunks: 319
Non-skunks: 136
% Skunked: 70.11%
Best silver streak: 7
Worst skunk streak: 31
Best box: 10 x 90%, 13 x 40% (5.54ozt)
Average week (including 3 skipped weeks):
--8.8 boxes :: 1.8 x 90% , 5.4 x 40% :: 1.44ozt--
Best week
--14 boxes :: 16 x 90% , 9 x 40% :: 7.12ozt--
Worst week
--12 boxes :: 0 x 90% , 0 x 40% :: 0.00ozt (we had six other weeks in the first half of the year where we were skunked on all 10 in a week)
Average month
--37.9 boxes :: 7.7 x 90% , 23.5 x 40% :: 6.25ozt--
Best month (October)
--32 boxes :: 18 x 90% , 30 x 40% :: 10.95ozt--
Worst month (tie between January/March)
--90 boxes total :: 1 x 90% , 11 x 40% :: 1.99ozt-- OUCH!
Click on these to take a better look! Blue lines for silvers and red lines for ounces. The blue/red horizontal lines on the first three charts are the respective averages and the purple line is the per-box average.
As far as dumping goes, I ended the year $33.50 short but that includes a one-time machine error in my favor for $22.50. Otherwise I would have been $56.00 short on the year. Of course, some of the shortages could have come from the MWR themselves, but I suspect the majority comes from the machines.
I've also kept track of my reject chute/ground finds of loose change. I ended up scooping $47.76 from the ground and reject chutes including 3 silver quarters and 5 silver dimes for total of 0.90 oz bonus!
Hope you all enjoyed the breakdown! We searched quite a few boxes but the first half of the year really killed us. There were long skunk streaks and meager finds which really kept us from reaching our 100oz total, and just barely! This year was truly a testament to what CRH can be when luck is not on your side: Meager box scores, a trickle of silver, and no really big boxes or CWR finds to boost the total, despite the volume.
We are nearing in on the $1,000,000 searched mark which I expect we'll pass sometime in February of this year.
Ironically, as a sneak peek, the first two weeks of 2019 have been excellent! No dream boxes or anything, but we've had results any respectable CRHer would be grateful for! Keep an eye on my log for the January round up!
Happy hunting in 2019, may the silver gods smile upon you!
