Started hunting half dollars today

[20eyes]

Thought I would give hunting half dollars a try since ive got loads of time being off work all week... Went through $300 in halfs and got a 1952 franklin in the 3rd roll i opened and nothing more... Im happy I got somthing but it was a bit disapointing finding nothing else after the 3rd roll. Can't compalin I guess lol.

some of us would give body parts to get a Franklin on their first outing. Try searching though 18,000 halves hoping for at least one to keep. Congrats on your first silver. There is more out there. Jim

Jim is right 20eyes. A Franklin first time out of the gates is awesome!!! There is more out there. Beat the bushes....turn over every rock.....you'll have a pile you won't be able to jump over after a while. Persistence!!! Good luck. Keep us posted.

Jim - Body parts??.....that's hilarious!! Also, I just noticed your detector......two dowsing rods.....lol. I see your humor hasn't changed....lol. I love it. That little one sure is a cutie!!

I was totally shocked when i found it. Defanitly gonna keep looking. I think i may try a box of dimes next so the people at the bank dont think im totally nuts...

Now Dimes ? You are a glutton for punishment. Here we have you basking in the sunshine of Silver Halves, and you want to try dimes. I guess all great ships end up on the rocks eventually. Prepare thyself for disappointment with the dimes. Best wishes, Jim

Now tomorrow you will tell us you found a Barber in those dimes. Good Luck.

I take it silver dimes are less plentiful than silver halves in bank rolls? What about dollars?

There are no silver dollars out there. In over 3years I have only found 1 or 2 and about 5000 common Ike's.

Silver Dollars are so unusual that even the greenest tellers would scoop them up before they hit the counter.

Yea around me dimes produce on average 3 per box where as half boxes I am luck to get a 40%'er anymore. I say stick with halfs and when you can't get them then do dime boxes.

I got a 1968 in my first 5 rolls.. but nothing since then.. I never get boxes, sounds like that's he way to do it.
