IF you're lucky enough to get coins turned in, wrapped from an older customer, you may get lucky that he/she has had these coins forever and are finally getting around to turning them in. The pandemic was also a likely good time to hunt - basically, any time when the economy is hurting and people need money. That's when they are desperate and turning in their loose change. when money is good, they don't have to bother taking coins in. So, bottom line - I don't bother silver hunting anymore.
