[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8193972, member: 105098"]So, the main question is, how much do you search normally? I'll keep it at per week. When I had access I was searching 2 boxes of quarters per week that I had arranged with my bank, and then whatever else I could collect on my travels to and from work or on runs, as I passed random banks that I don't have an account with and stop and ask. I even had a method so no stammering while asking, intent was always $60 in coin but I'd take what I could get. roughly 2-3 random bank stops a day. 3 rolls quarters 3 rolls dimes 5 rolls nickels 10 rolls cents if I could only get $20, I'd ask for 2 rolls quarters (for laundry) and be on my way. I could build up in a week a box of quarters and a box of dimes with roughly 16 stops, a box and a half of nickels, and just over 3 boxes of cents. so that was per week, I'd dump on a friday after work when the dump bank was open a bit later. Now I know some of you focus on one thing be it quarters, nickels dimes, cents or halves, which is just fine. some of you buy older date rolls, or bulk silver to search for better dates or errors, there's many methods that people use to coin roll hunt. But I amcurious, and I'm sure some other roll hunters here are too, especially the novices, are really curious how often is it being done and to what extent. I'd put myself in the around 10 box a week category when I was doing it, random denominations.... moderate successes, I did make worthwhile finds each week. To keep it anonymous I will make this a poll, comment if you'd like to share more detail or have a question, but as roll hunters, it's sort of an addiction, and there is some level of secrecy to it (my family doesn't "get it" at all, so I keep it to myself for instance rather than discuss my crazy hobby) you can select 2 choices, please select one from Poll1, and one from Poll2 if you participate. Trying to gauge the frequency and what is searched, without prying too deeply into individual people, unless of course you want to talk and share. If so feel free. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
