<p>[QUOTE="Onehawk33, post: 1260798, member: 13978"]About three times yearly I cruise around to small town banks looking for halves. Half the time I barely pay for gas as I usually drive 150-200 miles and hit about 20 banks. I've had tellers look for silver halves right in front of me, then ask if I want what's left. I politely say "certainly". I run into rude tellers and very nice folks. I seem to get a much better reaction when one of my nephews rides along and they thoroughly enjoy it. This last time my nephew and I hit 8 banks and found halves in 4; which is about average. We searched $1100 dollars and found 61 silvers. 35 40% and 26 90%. The 26 broke down as 12 64's, 6 Franklins, 7 Walkers and one AG 1908 O Barber. One of the Walkers was a 1938 and it was fairly exciting as I turned it over looking for the mintmark, alas not a 1938 D. </p><p><br /></p><p>Haven't been on the forum in a while. I go hot and cold on forums. It's coming onto fall/winter now and brown trout season is almost over in driftless area, so I look to be a more active participant in here again.
