I think she posted last week sometime. Don't believe she had monster finds that time but some silver.

On my spreadsheet I've added in the foreign silver and show 465.42635 oz of silver found.
Today:
box 1 of halves: 2 40%ers
box 2 of halves: 1 40%er
$50 CWR halves: skunk
Nothing extraordinary as of late but yesterday I found 4 proof Lincolns (80, 82, 88, 92), a P and D uncirculated set token, two Canadians, and a 1998 and 2000 WAM. Pulled a '34 and 1919-S wheatie earlier this week and a few more wheats. Only silver in the past month has been a couple Rosies, a '66 Kennedy, and a '43-P Nickel.

The stink continues...
Friday - 2 boxes of Halves: Skunk
Sat - 1 box of Halves: Skunk
11 out of 12 skunks and 31 out 34 skunks....awful.
The thing with this machine is that the bag never has to be changed. When the bag is full the machine pauses and the machine starts filling another bag. Good idea about adding in the Canadian coins, this machine rejects them. The machines at TD have a magnet that sucks up the foreign.
That is awful news Ace. I would have hung it up a while ago. Congrats to you for sticking with it. Good luck to you man.

Wow....that is awful. Here's hoping your next one breaks the streak.
Box of dimes: a '64 D and a '46 S
1 box of halves - 1 x 2002 P and 1 x 2006D
& $10 BU Kentucky P in plastic roll <---someone run out of cash, probably.......
I admire you for sticking with it. If i have 3 or 4 boxes that are skunk, I usually give serious thought to giving up, then I find one or two silvers and keep going. You have true perseverance.
8 boxes 4 40%'s from 2 different boxes and two other random 40%'s from the others; Also a nicely toned 89 that looked neat and 3 NIFC that I threw back. There were also a boatload of new looking 1993's; A few months ago, I first noticed all the 1996's that looked brand new. Where do these come from 19 years after they were minted?; Wonder if they are leftovers at the mint that are being released now?
