I am hooked on crh never had this good of a week metal detecting. I found seven silver dimes. 47 five 64s and one beauty of a 45 merc s mint. It took around seven boxes for those some skunks but one box had three. Two silver quarters, maybe ten boxes to get those. I haven't really kept track of how many boxes I have searched. Most were clear shrink wrapped so I could see if I had silver really fast. If they are skunks I'll drop them off and grab more at another bank. I don't have a large bankroll but theres plenty of banks to cycle through... I also got three war nickels two 43s and one 44d one buffalo 8 wheats out of one box seven wheats out of the second and eight out of the third as well. 3 that look unc or proof maybe. Oldest is 1920.49 is the oldest Canadian penny one can dime nickel Swiss nickel sized coin... Great fun! All halfs were skunks.

Great finds! I wish my banks used clear rolls, it'd make things go quicker. Protect your coins and I hope October is good to you!

Welcome to the Madness :) hope you have great finds always!
Keep it up, any questions feel free to pm :)
Yeah, those Wheats are great condition, I'd throw them in a 2x2 and into the collection ;) Only costs a penny.

The wheats are probably not proofs, but just MS condition. The Swiss coin is a 20 rappen, worth 21 cents in exchange.

I went threw a couple more boxes and found two more 58 wheatys that look the same.8 more wheats in one twelve in the next and nine in the last...I've been finding lots of near mint coins out of these boxes 58 to modern. I think your definitely right on with the collection dump. I sure hope some older ones turn up. Can't wait for my first ih cent...
