Post 'em up! Halves; $10,610 searched. 42 40%ers 14 '64's 1 Franklin 1 WLH. Dimes; $11,350 searched 3 Mercs 58 Roosies Nickels $2,230 searched 1 V-Nick 16 Buffs 20 Wars Ikes; 3 '71-D FEV's, 2 '72 T2's, and a great '76-D T1 I'd grade 65 or so. Total of 17.53oz from $24,190 searched, or $1,379 searched per oz. If we take out the nickels, it drops to $1,329/oz. Total oz on the year is now at 117.41. My goal of 150 isn't that far away!
Quarters: Wash x7, RUST Kansas Quarter x2 Dimes: Roosie x65, Merc x5 (including 1 Merc ender), 1875 Seated Liberty, 1997S and 2001S Proofs. Nickels: War Nickel x28, Buffalo x7, 1899 V Nickel x1, Proofs: 1976S 1992S and 1999S. Pennies: Wheat x112, Steel x1, a 1998 WAM and a minor clipped planchet Halves: 90% x2, 40% x7 Ikes: 46, including a 1976D Type 1 Total searched: $18,044.50 Silver found: 9.6617 ozt If this week was better I would have beaten 10 ounces, but 9.6 ounces is still pretty good. That being said, this was my highest volume month this year and as such, my ratio was $1,867.63 searched per ounce found... a decent bit above my average for the year of $1,601.28 per ozt. Still, lots of great finds this month including (on top of too much foreign to mention) the Steel, a bunch of proofs, my first V Nickel, and the Seated Lib dime. Actually, this has been my best month for dimes overall by far, and my best month for war nickels by far as well. Hopefully my luck on halves might actually change some day this year, and I can actually break 10 ounces in a month, but I don't really think I should look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to my consistency. Now that half the year is elapsed, I'm up to 44.1127 ozt ytd, January was pretty low volume so I think I can definitely hit 100 ounces for the year, especially if I have a good score or two in the second half of the year. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's results as well!

Grand total searched - $13,333.50 12 halves - $3803.50 40% - 9 90% - '64 (x2), '08S silver proof 46 dimes - $9530 36 roosies 8 mercs 1 Canadian George VI 1 Canadian Elizabeth 1852 Gold Liberty Head Quarter Eagle Wow, a crazy month indeed. Opening an acct with TD REALLY changed my game. Having way more branches available in my area and being open on Sundays has sorta turned me into a weekend warrior. I've literally doubled my total search amt. Month 4 of CRH brought many highs and lows for me, but I do it to honor my Dad's memory. His passing indirectly led me into this hobby. Yeah, I know I got super lucky with that one find, but I'd like to think Dad was looking out for me that day and acknowledged me with a gift. I get pu pu'd on quite a bit by someone close to me that thinks I'm wasting my time, but at least for now I will keep on hunting.
TD is a bank that will def. change your game... 7 days and extended hours Thurs and Friday lets you really go at it hard even when most banks are closed. I have a real love/hate relationship with TD, haha. Nice finds, especially that QE. I'm so jealous.
