How much silver have you gotten CRH?

[koala33]

Just curious - I just started CRH a month and a half or 2 ago. I am at about 15 troy ounces for nearly free. Minus of course .50 per coin you find + gas + any fees (one bank just started charging me $3/box). Either way I have probably paid around $5-8/troy ounce I am thinking. Not too shabby..

I am buying 4 boxes/week. This week was pretty nice, but the last wasn't as good. Never know what you are gonna get..

I would suggest checking with other branches of the bank you are getting charged. I was told by a Wells Fargo Branch they were going to start charging a fee and called another branch 2 miles away and they order every week for me with no fee. Same goes with US Bank - 1 said they were going to charge me and another branch said, no problem and no fees. Branch managers apparently have the authority to impose a fee or not.

To answer your question in post - I have no idea on how much I have found. I put them in rolls and throw them in the safe. Once there, I unleash my kitty who patrols the general area every 7 minutes. My avatar was a 3 second video clip the security cameras captured when one of my kids friends stepped inside the death zone.

I am not a big CRH person, but I started keeping track of my finds at the beginning of this year... So far for silver I have accumulated 14.7 oz plus excluding 3 boxes I am working on now with quite a bit of silver. hh

I can remember a very nice and sincere gentlemen on this board who had squeaky shoes. His numbers that he pulled makes everyone here look like rookies. Every week, twice a week if my ailing memory serves me correctly, he would cull in the low 100's of 90% and 100's of 40%. This was just over a year and a half ago.

The AG finds of today are nowhere close to what they were then. His son was recovering close to the same
totals as well. A dream box back then had to be close to 100 silver 90% or more, now a dream box is 2 40% and 1 NIFC.

I can remember on box I did, results somewhere on this board, that had more WLH and Franklin's then any other type and it was close to 50 or 60 coins. It also had silver proofs and silver Bicentennials in the mix. Things have changed in this hobby in such a short amount of time. I believe that silver is still out there, just not where I live right now. I am not willing to do 100's of box of halfs to cull a couple of oz's of silver, it isn't worth my time. What has taken place is a burning desire to complete every Dansco Half book from the Barber series to present. Barber half is done (not slicks either) and I have the Walkers about 3/4's of the way done (Most are AU). The Franklin's will be fun. These coins have not been found in boxes, I find them on my daily travels to coin shops and shows in my area. I haven't see nor heard of 1 silver half in the area I live in for almost a year. I know of two other CRH's who are friends, they travel 50 to 60 miles away to pickup 1 or 2 boxes. Their skunk rate is at 90% and what they find doesn't cover gas.

sorry to hear, alaska must be tough... the same coins must circulate over and over again because it is so secluded... are there many crhers in alaska?

Wow.. why do those guys still CRH if it's just not worth it? If you want to CRH for silver, why don't you just do the pennies. Sell the copper and use the profits to buy silver. That's basically the round about way to obtain silver by CRHing.

 

[AGCoinHunter]

Started CHR in earnest in mid 2009 and have found around 500 TO. When the tax man comes, I found nothing...

 

[usandthem]

This is an easy question to answer. I have been CRHing for about a month now and I have found a 1967 Kennedy and a 1944 Half Crown. My penny panning is much more lucrative and will enable me to aquire more silver in the future.

yeah there are a few of us up here CRHing alot more than i like there to be up here in ALASKA. CRH is just that a hobby and not a whole lot of profit in it but i would say this year i have aquired my fair share so far but i am always looking to get more from all those that dont care about the coins aka the banks.
