All,

I am VERY new here and have read hundred's ( possibly thousands ) of past posts. I have noticed there are many posts on finds and congratulations on said finds but very few posts on possible strategies for optimizing CRH finds.

For instance, being new, I see people searching well over 100 boxes of halves a MONTH -- $50,000+! How large of a bankroll do these people actually work with? Are you buying 4 or 5 boxes a day ( $2,000/$2,500 ), searching and dumping all of them the next day and re-buying? Are you able to dump all 4 or 5 boxes at a single bank? Are you having to spread-out a bunch of $200 dumps over multiple banks?

Or, did you start with a few hundred dollars, found some silver, sold that silver until you built-up to that $2,500 bankroll mark?

Do you ONLY dump at, say, Brinks banks and only buy from Loomis/Dunbar/Garda banks to prevent getting your same coins back?

Also, sometimes the tone of some messages is "I wanna do this other CRH'er wrong so he will quit buying from MY bank.". Seems to me there are VERY few of us in general than even think about this. With Treasurenet being the powerhouse on the web, I see a few hundred regulars on this forum. Seems to me, in the ideal world, we would know where everyone else searches, the preferred armored car serviced banks to dump TO and maybe we could stay off of each others toes.

Sorry for the rambling FIRST post but I think you guys ( and ladies :) have some great experience and wisdom to impart and I for one would love to be able to put this into some form of coherent strategy to approach CRH'ing!

This post is worth what you paid for it! Please let me know your thoughts.

As for dimes, I buy what I can get. Most banks will give up $200 in dimes, but often, I get cut off at $50 worth.

Take what you can get if you don't have a standing order at a particular bank.
 
I usually hit the dimes and take out a few grand and buy till I run out of cash. Usually only takes about 3-4 banks in hand rolled dimes. If I can find halves that's a bonus.
 
WELCOME!!! and, i only use 1k, (i could use a lot more but i like to buy physical silver, gold, and platinum, so any extra cash goes to that). it gets the job done, and is REALLY easy to carry. i used to turn a LOT over, but ive calmed down in time, so 50 pounds of coins for me is like carrying a dictionary. hope this helps!!!

All,

I appreciate the collective wisdom brought together in this post. While this info, and much more, is spread across the forum, it is GREAT to have it in a single compilation.

Plus, I appreciate the explanation of the money amount/turnover strategies. Plus, understanding how you build your budget/bankroll is priceless.

Thanks,

Ken
