Congrats LJ...The British Penny is such a let down for me...but the vane you have been mining has been impressive. I don't even sniff that much silver in a month.

LJ,

Wow!! More inspiration to get to the bank and buy some halves! First, a couple questions..

How many halves did you search to reach those totals?

What is a magician's coin? Thanks...

Seriously LJ, what is going on? Your takes are incredible! I am not interested in where your halves come from or where you search, or any other details that would give up what you have going on, but would you be willing to tell us or me if I pm'ed you, why you find so many keepers? Is it your location is there some kind of Colony of old ignorant silver coin stashers that are flocking to dump all there silver in your boxes and bags? If you dont want to say I can understand and will respect that completely.

I want to reiterate, not every box I open is loaded with silver. I get my share of skunks or boxes with two's and few's just like we all do.

Also, I don't sell my soul to anyone......ha!

'Seriously' - I like that word, but hardly ever use it....never serious here.....lol. I don't take this hobby serious. If I never found another silver coin in a box I would be content as can be. It's been fun.

My next adventure might be aluminum cans.....ha! There seems to be no shortage of those. I'm already thinking of a system...... :wink:. Our garage would look like Sanford and Son...... ;D.

'Seriously'.....I put alot of time/effort into a system. I also experiment....some things work....some don't.

Thanks Thurm...Like I mentioned, any coin found with an 1800's date is special to me.

Nice find LJ- I've gotten several of those over the last year or so, but never an 1800's one. WTG! :wink:

As I said, I know how many boxes you search per month and I'm glad that I don't have that many fingers and toes. Guys and Gals, not many of us have the time to look at as many halves as LJ does in a month. She is bound to find more than the casual CRH due to the huge amount searched.
