my area is quite large and i search it in sections. i hit one particular section that is called the "main line". this is several neighborhoods of the upper crust. i have had some luck here in the past, nothing special but i always manage to get something. anyway it started slow with halfs being scarce. a couple loosies here and there. then i noticed a very small bank off to the side that i saw before but never hit because i was in a hurry and didn't think it was even a bank. it looked like it was only a drive thru. it had 2 drive thru windows and a door. i went in and there was just a very small hall leading to a plate glass teller window, with one teller. very weird place.i felt like i was going into an illegal gambling joint and was waiting for her to ask me what the secret password was. anyway she was very nice and she had 1 handroll of halfs for me. this turned out to be my best score of the day. inside the roll i found 1-1964, 1-1967, 2-1968d. best roll i've found in months. 
awhile later i picked up 2 loose halfs from a teller and one was a 1964
after that it was even slower and no more keepers. oh well at least it wasn't a complete waste of time. i feel the hunt was a sucess.
wait it gets better.
i stop at the local watering hole after work, there's a bartender there who likes when i tip her in halfs or large dollar coins. so i tip her with a few and she says "do you have anymore?" i tell her i have a bag full of the dollar coins and around $30 in halfs. she says "i want them, bring them in"
now she knows there is no silver in there because she knows what i do. she just likes them, especially the bi-cens because that was the year she was born. her young son calls them "pirate treasure " and she has to hide them from him or he'll take them and hide them from her. anyway she cleaned me out of all of it. around $65 in large dollars and about $34 in halfs. she said "you get anymore just bring them in." she has no idea how many i go thru and there's no way she'll be able to keep up. but any larges i get i'll save for her as they are hard to get rid of and every nw and then i'll dump small amounts of halfs on her. pretty cool having a place to dump that isn't even a bank.
