My first full year Crh

[norcalsteve]

This was my first full year at this hobby. I am very happy with my results. I just started ordering boxes 1 year ago september.
When the year started I had a goal of finding 365 silver. I passed that goal by early May so I revised my goal to 1000 silver halves.
I did a lot of traveling up and down the state for both work and pleasure and that defanately helped. I found quite a few towns that had banks with lots of cwr with silver.
I searched 178 boxes. I did not keep track of how many cwr but it had to be around 500. And, somewhere around $300.00 in teller tray halves.
My high lights were a box with 89 silver in April. I found 6 solid $10.00 rolls and 2 solid $20.00 rolls.
My oldest find was the 1858s
I ended up with 1002 silver halves.
(1) Seated
(17) Walkers
(46) Bens
(85) 64's
(1) 1982 George Washington Comm.
(852) 40's
180.2658 oz of silver.
I almost did not make my goal. I was 40 short last week and I found that last solid $20.00 roll on Dec 30th.
Hope everyone had a good year.
Here's to a silver filled 2016.

Great year Steve! It looks like CWR produce for you way better than they do for me

Throughout my traveling I was amazed to find so many banks that when I asked if they had any halves they said that "these have been sitting around forever thank you for taking them" and some of those were the solid CWR's.
I dont know if I will be doing as much traveling this year.
I am hoping to find my first solid 90's roll This year.
One of the things that keeps me
( and I am sure many others here) hunting is seeing your incredible finds.

I search $4000 in halves a week and didnt have a year close to what you had. Although in my best week I did very well and only had 6 weeks of being skunked. Most weeks I averaged about 30 40%ers and 10 90%ers. Wish I had a year like yours! Congrats

Thanks everyone. My wife does not think I am as crazy as she did when I started.
Hope everyone has a banner year in 2016.
