<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1933034, member: 26302"]You are usually, in my personal experience, better off getting halves from rural areas rather than large metros. Large metros usually have a number of roll searchers already going, so the picing will be slim. My best results were always when I scored bags from rural areas, (though many would argue all of Iowas is a rural area). Back in the 90's I would get 5-10 silver and 20-30 40% per bag in Des Moines. I got a bag from a town of 15,000 though that had about 50 silver halves, (even quite a few WL's), and maybe 150 40%. Best bag ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, this was around 92, so I know those kind of bags are gone, but the principla still holds I believe. Rural areas you have a better chance of scoring some better stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
