Couple of decent half dollar boxes this week

[Big Fat Cheeseball]

Last week was 13 skunks. This week I picked up 6 boxes on Wednesday all skunks. Thursday picked up 18 boxes with 15 skunks but had 3 boxes produce. Ended up with 25-40%ers and 2-90%ers. Pretty happy with the totals this week. Not great but better then nothing. My boxes have not produced much in the last few months so very nice to see some Ag to stack away. Hope everyone is having a good week!

So 27 silvers out of 37 boxes? that seems to be the new trend lately. Hope things pick up for you, though from what I'm experiencing I wouldn't count on it...

Wow 3 boxes produced, but seems like they were somewhat loaded atleast...

no 66's either, but 65's... interesting!! I think ive only ever found a couple 65's
HH!!

Sure beats all skunks and does seem to be about the norm lately around here. Hard to do anything but break even with an average of one 40% per box. Of course if we were only interested in money we would just work another part-time job during the time spent treasure hunting.

Nice boxes there BF! I had a simaliar week too, I havent had time to post it yet, but out of 26 boxes this week, 24 were skunks, 2 gave up something, ( sigh), you did good though! HH, Maverick.

Thanks Guys! Not the best week by far but anytime I can add some Ag to the stash its a good week!

twiasp, I hope I hit the brother/sister boxes next week. I have around 23 boxes next week if all goes well.

AdDicted2Ag, Glad to see you have a good week. Onto the next box! Lol!

jamesg13, As of late it's been rough going through all the skunks but just like everyone of us you just have to think next week will be your week! Lol!

FormerTeller, Silver has dropped off for me in the last few months...I hope this is a good sign.

Info, I thought it was kinda strange getting some 65's and no 66's too. For me 65's are the toughest to pull out of any Kennedy 60's 40% half dollars being the lowest minted. I was also surprised that I had 10-69's. I normally get more 67-68 being the highest 40% minted.

maine_Jim, I'll treasure hunt over a part time job any day. Lol!

Mav, As you well know...the only way to get to a good box is to dig though all the stinky ones too. Even at that you still may end up with zip. But that's all part of the hobby right! There's nothing like getting silver at face.
