I hear ya bro. I have resorted to pulling quality silver from the cool, cool earth.

The silver might be on the way out, but the copper and nickle still keep producing. Its a lot harder to sell, but if the melt ban ever ends, you can double your money pretty easily.

Well so far this year, I haven't done any road trips, searched 10% of the dimes I did last year, if that, and halved the time spent on the hobby. Yet I've recovered as much silver so far this year as I did by November of 09. My half boxes are no better than they were in 08. I just do a lot more of them.
The silver is out there. One just has to switch up the means of getting it, or put more time in it.
The banks will kill off the hobby long before the silver runs out.

I hate to think this is going sour.It took months to find a bank that will order halves in boxes for me.

competition there is in ur area.

dump keeps shrinking

Scrounger, it sounds like you just need to change the angle at which your scroungin. What I mean is just switch it up...do a road trip or two. Find some other coin collectables and turn a profit and then try to find a good deal on buying some gold ya know. I am just always thinking of a new way to do this hobbie. Take care.
