2015: Hunting Is a Harsh Mistress

Picked up two boxes of dimes today on my lunch break. One box was a skunk, but the other gave up five keepers:

1968 50% silver Canadian

1947D
1951
1952
1957

8-)
 

Two boxes of halves gave up one 40%er last night: 1967. Blah.
 

Picked up a box of halves + two boxes of dimes yesterday on my lunch break, just got around to searching them.

The box of halves was a skunk, I'm currently on a seven-box skunk streak with halves.

Between the two boxes of dimes I pulled five keepers:

1947 George VI Canadian (80% silver)
1943D Mercury
1951
1957D
1962

Great dime Boxes!!!!! I'm filtering through the 2014's right now. My pickup banks for dimes & nickels recently switched from Dunbar to Garda (nf string boxes)... Cwr until they clear up!
 

I've been getting a lot of solid 2014P dime boxes. I used to search through them, but now I just take them to the next branch and ask if I can exchange them for a box that isn't completely new.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday, pulled a 90%er from each:

1964
1954D Ben
 

Picked up two boxes of dimes in the afternoon yesterday. One box was a skunk, but the other gave up three Roosies:

1953D
1964 x 2
 

Skunk streak for halves reached twelve boxes until last night. I picked up two boxes of halves yesterday, one was a skunk (the 12th in a row).

The other box gave up one lone 40%er: 1969D.
 

Congrats. That is a start of good boxes.
 

Two boxes of halves that I picked up yesterday on my lunch break gave up three 40%ers between them:

1965
1967
1969D
 

Picked up two boxes of halves + $100 in CWR of halves + $8 in loose halves.

Skunked on both boxes. The CWR gave up one 40%er, and so did the loose halves:

1967
1969D
 

Picked up two boxes of dimes yesterday; one was a skunk but the other gave up three keepers, a Merc and two Roosies:

1944 Mercury
1947S
1957D

Hey MM, I'm still around lurking, nice to see you're still adding to the pile! HH, Maverick.
 

Thanks, Mav! How's it going?

Right now I'm averaging just under 10 ozt/month. My goal this year is, again, 100 ozt total. Last year I was a few ounces short. Hopefully I can keep this average going, if so I should be able to hit my goal this year.
 

I'm still hunting, 26 boxes a week now, I am ahead of last yrs numbers so far ( 889 40% and 141 90%) hoping to hit 3500 40's this yr and 700 90's, it is going to be a hard goal to attain though... Father inlaw is till battling cancer (going through chemo still) and we are battling the usual life problems, kids, work, health and so on, they still can't figure out what is going on with my wifes legs, have had her on Gabapentan ( spelling?) for months so can walk and work, she is going for and MRI of her head now because the DR. wants to rule out any kinda tumors or such that may be causing the problem. So I still try and log on in between everything to see how everyone is doing ( lots and lots of new members now, not too many of the old crowd that I see anymore) nice to see you, and I'll keep tabs with you, good luck this year!! HH, Maverick.
 

Wow, sorry to hear that you are still going through so much stress. It's tough, I'm sure. Keep your head up!

Glad to hear you're still hunting though. Those are some killer numbers for being so early in the year still!
 

Sorry to hear about everything going on Mav :( Hopefully things get better soon!
