Last week I had a good run with 12 boxes from one bank. Ended up with 9x90%'s, 102x40%'s and 3 proofs.

Yesterday I started this week's pickups from another bank with the same supplier. 10 boxes gave me 18x90's, 289x40's, and 1 proof.

The per box breakdown is as follows:

Box 1- 4x90%, 38x40%, 1 proof
Box 2- 1x90%, 36x40%
Box 3- 24x40%
Box 4- 2x90%, 23x40%
Box 5- 2x90%, 13x40%
Box 6- 4x90%, 29x40%
Box 7- 1x90%, 25x40%
Box 8- 1x90%, 27x40%
Box 9- 3x90%, 26x40%
Box 10- 48x40%

Before anyone says "pics or it didn't happen", I will upload them tomorrow. Work has been killing me for the past two weeks so I need to get to bed.

Wow....those are some loaded boxes.....congrats. :icon_thumleft: And send some of those my way. :)

I think my best box ever was just over a year ago and had 38 keepers and surprisingly most were 90% with a lot of Walkers...but I'd be really surprised if I ever found another box like that one again....but u never know with this hobby.

I'd say u have a heck of a silver streak going.....hope u can keep it going.

H$H!

holy!!!

I can only dream of a score like that!! my word...

Been doing 8-12 boxes a week the last 2 months and my best week was 2.5 oz of silver, averaging just under 1 piece of silver(40 or 90%) per box

Holy Moly! I haven't seen a run of boxes like that on here before! You surpassed my findings for this year in this 1 run of boxes! Very nice FF, glad to see it's still floating around, or I guess it was till you got it all, darn it!:) Seriuosly though, super score! So I guess you aren't really out swinging your MD around to much anymore huh? HH, Maverick.

Thanks all. I still can't believe it, in the past 2 weeks I found more than all last month!! And it's almost all Kennedy's, the Walkers and Bens haven't been plentiful like more other collection dumps I've found. No commemoratives either. I am also happy to say that I ordered an extra 10 boxes last week from another pickup bank that I hadn't ordered from for a while, so I hope to keep the streak producing. I'll post the pics after work of these 10 from last night.

As promised here is the photo. I was trying storing them in medicine vials, but ran out part way. Didn't get to separate them out by box to categorize them as easily as I hoped.

I know that people say that it's a myth that boxes come from the back of a Fed vault or something, but the strange thing about these boxes is that the newest clad was from 1996.

Thats pretty cool....sure sounds like you've been able to get some old boxes from the past......the question is just how many of these old boxes are there?

Hope u can keep the steak going.....I'll be watching for your results to find out.

Bank #2's 12 boxes might at least in part be from the same batch. The first one had 4 enders and 17 Ag. The second one had 7, and the third a skunk. 9 more to go and another pickup tomorrow. Hoping for the best. After being dealt a blow by my main dump bank I need to rethink my system.
