working my way through the skunks

FormerTeller · Feb 28, 2013

Figured I'd post something other than my finds. Been working (not powering) my way through a host of skunky boxes. I almost dread picking them up now. I've been having intermittent luck with CWR's, but the boxes are horrible!

Just though I'd let the newer members know that it isn't all gravy out there.

::)

That makes 2 of us. Im on a 5 box skunker.. I do 2 boxes a week, whats your volume?

Im gonna try my luck at a box of dimes this week.. Halves seem overhunted these days

Thanks for the heads-up. Skunks are discouraging. I guess it's the true coin roll hunter that can survive the streak of nothing. We do appreciate knowing we are not alone.

If it makes you feel any better i went through 12 boxes this week and only 2 had something in them :BangHead:

2 out of 12...87% of half boxes are skunks...

I feel worse...but I want to be a true hunter...so I will keep trying...for now.

Hey FT, sorry to hear that, that is kinda suposed to be why I did my thread too, just to show that it is a lot of time and travel most times for not much or nothing. This week has just been more skunks with the extra boxes I ordered. Hope it turns around for you, HH, Maverick.

1/12 boxes had silver so far this week... 1.018 toz of silver... my gas for the week is about paid for atleast...

A seven box in a row skunk streak so far this week for me. I did find 1-40% in the first box (first of 8 boxes) sooooo, so far this week $4 worth of silver and $40 spent on gas, BUT I have 8 boxes and maybe a few CWRs today after after a 140 mile spin ( another $40 or so in gas) hope for better luck to end the week with these.
Good luck on future boxes guys,
agme

That is rough BB. Do your boxes come from Brinks, Loomis?

I feel for you; I'm at a 23 box skunk streak. You just have to keep pushing through them.

I haven't had a box like that yet but I am seeing a lot of 2010-13 mixed in though. Gotta keep your head up and keep pushing through. The AG will surface!!
