Just curious how many people out there are friendly to other hunters at the bank. The reason why I ask is because I notice some people take this hobby way too competitively. I recently ran into another hunter at the bank. He was directly behind me. When it was my turn I walked up to the teller and asked for a box of nickels. The man behind me immediately shouted that he needed nickels to. He also shouted that he wanted any halves as well. Mind you he was still in line and was not being helped by a teller. I guess he felt that it was a race. Well it made me angry that the teller actually had halves in her tray and gave them to him before I could even ask. The man then started riffling through the halves and made sure I could hear him doing so. However he did not find any silver. Once the teller got my box of nickels, the man tried to jump me and take them. Even though he did not pay and I had already given my cash. Hope that scum bag got skunked.

Wow, that is wrong in many ways. I believe karma bites back. . Sorry but some people are ignorant. I've only run into a CRHer 3 Times all of which seemed secretive but nice.

Yea most CRHers I've ran into are nice but secretive which I can understand. I took a long break a few months ago and when I got back into the game it seemed that now everyone is looking through rolls. I guess all the publicity that this hobby got from the Internet and shows about doomsday prepping has taken its toll. I'm running into more CRHers and a larger proportion are overly competitive and rude.

That is the worst I have heard of. Who fights over a box of nickels? Next time take your sock off put 2 rolls of nickels in the sock and beat him about the head and ears. HH

I shouted about the nickels in case she had to go to the vault. Common courtesy. Always ask for halves first, or else they're mine... Bwahahahaha...!

^^^^ lol rushfan!


That is pretty whack though, I mean wait your turn buddy... I woulda clued the tellers in on the fact that they are helping you, and not him yet.

Ive only ever met one other CRH'r but twice at the same dump bank... he was pretty cool, We talked for a little bit as he was a half hunter as well... I know there are quite a few around, have ran into a couple banks that order for other people... and always ppl snatching up halves "just before i get there"... Ah I hate that guy(or girl?)! lol :)

I would love to chat with another CRH, I get the secretive nature, but I'm all about sharing info, maybe some of that sweet karma will come my way!

If they're nice to me I'm nice to them. If they're not I just turn and walk the other way.

Wow..?? Alls I can say is WOW..you have better patience than I, I would probably be getting bailed out this morning. I can't take that garbage...Find a different bank, get to know your tellers on a personal level if possible, in other words "kiss ass" . I am sure karma will come into play also !!

Oh yea I really wanted to deck him. It wasn't worth it for a box of nickels and $1.50 in halves. I forgot to mention that the guy rushed out of the bank once I left and made sure to wait for me to leave the parking lot. Guess he wanted to know which bank I was going to next. I kid you not this guy was ridiculous. Too bad for him I was going back to work.

I've crossed paths with quite a few in my area. Most are cool. All of the people I've met are at least 10+ years older than I am.

There's one lady who is an absolute b*tch though. And the other people have all shared in my sentiment. We all try to avoid her. She makes snide remarks, thinks every bank is "her territory", and is just generally intolerable.

Train your tellers better. All my banks tell me when other hunters have come in looking for stuff, and they never give away my boxes.

If someone did that to me, one of us would be leaving with the police.
