3 Day 9am-5pm Non-Stop CRH - - Heavy Pics of Finds & Carnage
I posted this thread on Monday about my venture this week http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,373130.0.html
Won't restate everything from that post but will just post the results with pictures. Was going to do the same thing tomorrow, but instead am heading back to Illinois to visit family and will try hitting a lot of small town banks along the way and see if I have any better results, worse or about the same as I do around my area. It will be the first time I have searched outside my area since I began CRH last month and I am excited to see what the results will be.
The pictures of the empty boxes was taken from where I spend my entire past 3 days - my van. Was not able to get all the boxes in picture, but by my count, I went through 16 boxes of halves and 28 boxes of dimes. I also went through another $650 in loose rolls of halves and $400 in loose rolls of dimes. I had a great time doing this and had many great talks with tellers as I was buying and dropping. I spoke to 3 tellers who know a lot about coins and who told me on their days off they also search out the silver....No silver in their trays! I did spot 2 silver dimes in tellers trays at other banks though....aren't those the best finds!!
Everyone have a great New Year!!
