Well yesterday I went on a mini-road trip and after 1295.50 i came out with my FIRST Ben - which was pretty cool but my only silver of the trip. I also got a Serenity Prayer Coin that is almost the same size as a half - I think its made of pewter or something, and 1 NIFC. So my road trip wasn't as fantastic as everyone else's.
Road trip breakdown!

Bank#1 No halves
Bank#2 No halves
Bank#3 No halves
Bank#4 No halves
Bank#5 $40 in rolls, 2 hand rolls 2 machine - Skunked
Bank#6 No halves
Bank#7 $21 Loose halves (The lady went around to every tray and pulled like 2-7 dollars from each tray it was pretty nice of her) but was a complete skunk
Bank#8 No halves
Bank#9 $20 They had more but told me that they could only sell me $20 dollars worth....
Bank#10 $10 in hand roll This is where my ben came from
Bank#11 $750 Someones Dump, 500 was in a canvas bag so i thought cool and then the other $250 was hand rolled and i figured that part might be a dump but i bought it all anyways.
Bank#12 $4.50 loose halves - Skunked
Bank#13 $450 in machine rolls (this is where the serenity token came from)
And I was out of cash so headed home :)

So Friday I cashed all that in, brushed the stinky smell off, withdrew some more money, and went and picked up the 3 boxes i had waiting for me.

Box#1 2 40%ers 3 Nifcs 1 Super Damaged proof that i threw back
Box#2 8 40%ers 1 Nifc and a Chrome or Gold plated coin that is counterstamped 1960 on one side and 1980 on the other
Box#3 Skunk on silver 1 Nifc

Was pretty darn fun except after reading everyone else's road trips I kinda expected more out of it but was pretty neat finally getting my first Ben.

Seagates little road trips usually produce little. You have to go big to get big. That is how I pull in the silver on the road trips. But good find on the Ben.

That was a decent trip but if there is little to pick up then chances are there will be little silver found. That is just the facts ya know. Better luck next time.
