This is my first month of hunting. I'm satisfied with the totals and I have learned alot in the past month. Hoping to increase from here. I've got a lot of the tellers loving me right now also, so maybe they will have me some bonus coins stashed away in February.

Took a major hit/loss in the halves department. Definitely taking time off next Friday to reflect on Dad, then major brainstorming toward end of Feb about whether to keep hunting or not.
My results are terrible, but I didn't really get to look through much. Dime - $360 - 1 Roosevelt Nickels - $542 - 1 Liberty, 2 Buffalo and 6 War Quarters - $100 - nothing Halves - $150 - Nothing $1,152 searched for .41 Troy oz silver. Not impressive at all. Am going to try an up my volume this month.
Our results for Halves has really tapered off so we switched to dimes and nickels for the last 2 months. Januarys results are not as good as past months but we got tired of skunk after skunk on halves. I hope they will pick back up in February. I plan on two boxes of nickels and a box of bimes on Mon, Wed, and Friday. We will continue to do a box of halves on Tuesday and Thursday until we see better results. A pretty good month I guess.
