All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

Just getting back into hunting after a few years, and it seems the halves have completely dried up In my areas.. Bummer because I was averaging 2 per roll back in 2011.

So after reading Mlhunter's logs of searches, it motivated me to try dimes.

Monday I picked up one box of $250, and $100 CWR.

The box provided:
1952
1964

And skunk on the loose $100


Today I tried a different bank and picked up a box.

Box yields:
(1) 1954
(1) 1963
(1) 1964

I'm pretty stoked to be finding silver again after being skunked out of 2,000 worth of halves.

Thanks again Mlhunter's, it's awsome seeing your finds.

I'm now on a 5 box skunk streak.

I just keep telling myself that this streak won't last forever. This isn't even that bad thought

All is good.
10 silver Roosie's so far
