Bags or rolls?

[Swade2K]

Today one of my banks offered me a choice between two boxes of halves or a $1000 bag of loose. I went with the bag for the variety factor, but was wondering if any of you have had good luck with supplier bags.

Thanks!

Bag is probably from TZ, ha.

If I lived in TZ's area I'd have to metal detect to supplement my silver intake...

Where I'm from, roll hunting barely supplements the silver mining operations in the dirtfishing fields.

I like to roll my cheese

You should have gotten both!

In my area coin machines are few and far between, so usually the bag will produce better than the average box. If coin machines are in every bank in your area, the bags might be full of dumps.

That's interesting... I may pick up a Garrett sometime soon for something to do on Sunday afternoons. I think panning would be fun too. Do you have much luck MDing? What kinda Troy Oz per hour can u expect MDing?

To clarify, they offered to order me one or the other.

Simple solution say "give me both or I'm closing my account yo"

In all seriousness, I don't think you actually talk like that when you're in the bank Eminem.

Depends on the bag. Ikes come in bags of $1,000, and my first one produced a 1923 Peace and 2 40% Ikes. I still haven't found the 3rd variety 1972 though. (sigh)

I would love to order a bag of Ikes... Is this still even possible?

For MDing, you are not very likely to get silver at any visit. Per year you may get about 20 silvers, or even less (could be more too). The point of MD is that you get quality. You are much more likely to dig a seated that find one CRH. Also, people have even found a few hundred dollars in clad, which can pay off your MD fast. Keep in mind that most silver found CRH is not in circulation from the 1960s and before, it has been replenished by dumped collections. In MDing, there is almost no replenishment. >99% of all MDed silver has been there since the time when silver circulated. The <1% is replenished by either someone's change falling out that contained a silver coin, or a robber losing a few coins from the collection he robbed while fleeing. However, the rate of silver is decreasing in MD as more silver is put out than put in.

I couldn't find a good year report, but just look at this for now:

Thanks, that is certainly helpful. I just ordered a Garrett AT pro on amazon and I'm excited to add another form of treasure hunting to my repertoire. I don't expect to go out and find piles of silver, but I am hoping that I can have a reasonably founded hope of finding some occasionally.

It's kinda like Sagitt says, but, in four years I've dug hundreds of silvers. Silver dollars, 30+Barbers, Walkers, Franklin halves, seateds, half dozen SLQ's, on and on and on. There are people out there that get silver every hunt, and dig hundreds every year. My digging bud just dug a 1916 D merc, and I've dug a 1758 Reale. It's an odd size, don't think it fits a coin roll.
For me at least, it's quality over quantity every time.
