High speed hunting?

[maine_Jim]

Last week I had a couple boxes that were quite skunky....you know the kind - you open it and it just reeks of skunk. I decided I would see how fast I could go through it.

Anyone here ever speed search?

My record for that box was five minutes, next box up was the same - five minutes. Only got one lone 40% that revealed itself by the silver tone it made when I dumped it in my hand.

Wow your fast! At normal speed it takes me close to 20 mins. per box including clean up and in the bag for dumping.

I'll be getting those skunky type boxes tomorrow.If I go carefully I never take more than 15 minutes to search a box of halves. My best time was 8 minutes.

I do it with bags that I know are other searchers. Just pour them from one bag to another and if theres silver you can hear it. Takes about 2-3 minutes. A box of rolls in 5 minutes is pretty damn amazing.

Wow takes me 20-30 min per box. Could you give some tips? I especially take some time opening rolls I think.

Easiest way to get the coins out of the rolls is just to douse the box in gas and light 'er up.

I haven't actually done this yet, but I'd imagine that if I drank and roll-searched, I probably would.

LOL!! Now we know the culprit. I was wondering why so many people here find burnt halves.

Kindest regards,

One tip is to open the rolls by slamming them onto a solid stationary pipe. Do it with the seal facing the pipe and they open like an egg. Once in a while if you are too hard they explode everywhere but usually they fall into your hand and you can hear any silver as it falls. This works good for a box full of skunk rolls.

I slice the rolls lengthwise with a heavy duty box cutter and snap them open.
