Well. August is here and its hotter than sin outside, not that it would stop me from CRH'ing.

6 boxes of halves

Box 1: 2 Bens, 1 Walking and 1 Magicians coin. One Ben and the walker were in the same roll, third opened in the box, I figured it would be an awesome box, it wasnt.
Box 2: Skunked
Box 3: Skunked
Box 4: Skunked
Box 5: Skunked
Box 6: 2/40% - 1/90% - 1/Franklin

Last two months have been heavy with Bens which has been rather odd. I did expect more out of this week but this is week 1 of a 5 week hunting month, its my free week so a little over 2 oz isnt a bad thing to pad the stats with.

Dimes and Nickels tomorrow. 7 boxes of halves next week.

Aug Totals

2 - 40% (0.2958)
1 - 90% Ken (0.3617)
3 - Bens (1.0851)
1 - Walker (0.3617)

9.2615 away from Aug goal.

Total found 2.1043 oz for $3.50

August totals 2.1043 oz for $3.50 or $1.66 an oz

Good luck in August man. July was dreamy for me, but so far August has been...meh. Your work schedule slowing up yet?

Well, I am not working 7 days a week anymore like that 20 day in a row stint. I am only working 6 days in a row now. 4 tens, a 8 and a 7 hour day or 55 hours a week minimum. Just got my 90 day raise and still waiting for my positional raise I should have got with my new position in the company. 4 times the work, tons more stress and paperwork for the same pay as I was making at my old job just doenst cut it. Sadly I seem to be cursed there, every time I need to talk to managment, they go to the hospital. First lost a kidney and the one right now is in for a heart attack.
 

$205 in dimes done today from yesterdays pick up..... Skunked.

Current dime skunk streak is at 234 rolls.

On a side note, the $100 in quarters I found in last weeks $660 worth of dimes is back at the bank as of last Monday, they had been missing since the previous Friday lol. They were super pleased. Also, they will start holding all foreign coins for me that get rejected from their counters.
 

This last week has not been the greatest but it sure as hell has not been the worst.

$78 in nickels currently not searched
$375 in dimes, skunked bringing my streak to 309.
$20 in quarters searched, Skunked

I'm still finding a considerable amount of your marked halves. I have a collection of them going now, so I know they're not the same ones I've dumped. Is this some kind of sick magic? Haha.
 

I only ever dumped one batch of marked halves so that is coming from that one time. I have never marked a batch since. You should post a picture for me :D

I Am thinking of holding aside some marked halves, for the 'Americana' / 'Folk Art' -ness of it all.

I can sympathize with you on the hours; I'm waiting for summer construction season to end.

I think you need to email management that unless they give you your raise, you're going to go in and talk to them, and you know what happened to the last 2 guys you talked with...
