I've been on T-Net for years mostly sticking to Today's Finds and General Discussion but every once in awhile I will pop into CRH. Since I work Monday through Friday the wife usually does all the banking so I don't find myself in many banks. On this past Saturday my daughter was going to sell Girl Scout Cookies but we had no singles for change so I ran into the bank. Got changed then asked if they had any halves. The teller said yes so I checked my pockets and only had $10. I took one roll. While driving away I looked through it and found one 40% JFK. Now I know they were not searched.
Now as the day is going it really starts to bother me that I did not get all of the halves. I look at the time and it is noon so I have an hour before the bank closes. It also dawns on me that it is Feb 2nd and my tenant never dropped off the rent check. I go pick up the rent then drive back to the bank. Make the deposit ask how many rolls they have left and the answer is four. Walk to ATM take out the $40 then purchase the rolls. As I'm leaving the teller tells me there are more in the vault but it is locked and will not be open until Monday. Search the four new rolls while drive and find three more 40% JFKs.
When I get home I tell my wife she should go on Monday and buy whatever they have left. She looks at me sideways then just laughs. Then explains that she is not dragging three kids out in this cold weather to a bank that she will have to go into so I can get my silver fix. Not going to happen. She may have said it a little nicer but that is how it sounded to me.
Monday comes and I'm at work. I know there is no way I can make it to the bank since I work an hour away from where i live and the bank closes at 4pm. Damn bankers hours. At 3:55 I call the bank to find out how many more rolls they have in the vault. They tell me 20 more so I say hold them for me I will be in first thing in the morning. At 9am today I was at the door as they unlocked it with 200 dollars in hand. Search all of them while driving to work and turned up another 3 40% and 1 90%- all JFKs.
Although I love detecting for my silver fix this may become my winter hobby.
So my questions is how did I do?? Good, bad or average??
Final count from $250 worth of halves was: 7 40% and 1 90%
I deal with investments all the time so with a $250 investment I was able to get $40 worth of silver which is a 16% one day return.
If I could do that every day on a much larger scale I could stop working...lol.
Thank for inspiring me to get out there and CRH. I have not order any boxes yet but I'm sure I will soon.

(I'm at work and I'm sure you all know what 8 JFK halves look like so I will not be posting any pics.)
