Well, it was a fun ride.

Three cities, 100 miles of territory, and my system ran as well as my 1991 Honda.

But the ride is over for now, and its time to get on with Phase ll. Other places, other methods, and other adventures.

I'm still a CRH'er, but not the way I have been the last 6-8 months.

I think the next few are gonna get even better.

Keep on Rollin' !

How do you know a 100 mile area is depleted? I have often wondered how to know when that happens. HH

$500.00 of halves weighs about 25lb.
The averages for the "ore" that I am mining have fallen off from several pounds down to one or two ounces PER TON.

That's depleted enough to make me look elsewhere for now.

Its at least better than some Phoenix, AZ searchers (1 40% in 80 BOXES, at least you get 1-2 oz. per 80 boxes.)

Sounds to me like "Phase II" is a smart move. Even with a Honda, if the 100 miles is for coins only, the 1-2 oz could get pretty pricey, especially if you have to make multiple trips to get your ton of searchable halves.


We all really get into this addiction and finding the silver can be a real rush. But it seems to me there comes a point when I would ask, "Is it worth it?" or would it be better to flip burgers, deliver papers, sort pennies etc. and just buy the silver with my earnings/sales proceeds.

I live out here in the Silver-starved Pacific Northwest.
Actually there are other towns, but they don't have any significant banks.
