South Beach hunting

[Mr. Silver Stash]

I am on my vacation down here is South Beach. I opened up a TD Bank account to utilize Penny and order some dimes. I did some freestyling at some other banks near the hotel this morning.

Scored one silver dime. I was looking at the shiny rims in the teller tray at BofA, and she said they are all foriegn. I saw a few dimes with shiny edges, and she said if you are looking for silver, you aren't going to find any here. Well, I was holding a 1963 roosie from her tray in my hand when she said it. Handed her $22, I bought $21.50 loose halves and 5 dimes including the silver one.

Picked up $130 in rewrapped dump rolls at Wells Fargo, and $21.50 of loose clad at BofA. Chase had $200 in CWR, probably dumps, but who knows? The Wells Fargo orders boxes, but only gave me dumps. I am going to call them and see if I can score a box w/o an account. I plan to buy a box of dimes or two a day for the next few days. I will post the results!

I see you're using the word "vacation" loosely. Good luck!

UPDATE:
Mon - Box 1 dimes= skunk
Tues - opened two dime boxes with my brother. I have been telling him to get in for months. I showed him the ropes & considering the results, he is probably due a welcome to the addiction soon.
Box 1 dimes - 3 roosies
Box 2 dimes - 1918 merc, 3 more roosies
Wed - Hit up a couple banks looking for halves. Found these three 40%'s. Picked up two dimes boxes.

If I was in South Beach coins and banks would be the last thing I'd be hunting. Just sayin'.

 

[Mr. Silver Stash]

When you are walking right by a bank, it is almost impossible to resist. I stopped in two that way today, and they both handed me silver. Plus, I picked up some to show my brother (he was like - we are opening some coins today) and I hit 7 silvers in two boxes. I had to try the waters some more.

I see that you are from the great state of Connecticut. Let me give you a helpful piece of advice. South beach is know for two things and ironically they both start with the letter "B". If that is not enough
of a hint, the first word starts with "B" and sounds like rear and the other word also starts with "B" and sounds similar to Newbies....

Pretty sure he doesn't mention anything about CRH...

Somethings in life are more important that silver dimes, especially when you're in South Beach. Just sayin'.....................

Stop giving him crap, it's his vacation. Do whatever you want on yours, heck, if you want to sit around the beach and get plastered (that's what I do on mine!) go for it, I'm not gonna say anything. He wants to roll search, let him.

Any time I'm on fresh turf, I search something... too good of an opportunity to let it go. Hope you hit a little jackpot!

No matter where I go I try and hit up some banks for loose halves if I have the time. I say go for it and maybe you'll happen into some snowbird silver that got cashed in.

 

[Solid Rolls]

Shhhhhh. I wasn't talking to you.

Stop giving him crap, it's his vacation.

@jonathanmilon
I was just joking around, no crap giving intended.

I'm vacationing in Maine come October. I definitely plan to do some CRHing, and some MDing!

In that case, continue.

I doubt there is anyone on this forum who can walk by a bank they have never been to and not go in to look for halves

 

[Mr. Silver Stash]

I stopped the dime search after those two boxes... $2 of silver per dime was not worth the time. But I did stop in a couple banks for loose halves. Who knows - I may have walked in to grampa's collection or some bank's stash of halves no one has ever picked up. So I went in a few banks today on the way to the Bayside Market in Miami. No more silver there. O well, I only used a couple hours CRHing and I have 1.5 oz to show, plus, I dont have to think about "what if..." & "the silver that got away...." for the rest of my summer.

I showed my brother the ropes while he came to visit with my new nephew - per his request. I also MD-ed a bunch of clad on the beach this morning. Treasure hunting is part of what I do for fun - we dont drink, we dont smoke or do drugs. I sat by the pool, on the beach, spend time with my wife, saw my new nephew, got alot of sun, and found some silver. Good Vacation! - I have 3 boxes of halves and 2 boxes of dime waiting for me at home! Life is good!
