<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walnut, post: 1390054, member: 36341&quot;]Today I picked up a couple half dollar boxes. They were stamped with a Feb 28, 2012 certification date. Something new for me I haven&#039;t seen them stamped certified before. So, needless to say, I didn&#039;t have much hope these boxes would have anything worth keeping. I figured the boxes were newly wrapped and full of recent dumps from searchers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got about 1/3 the way through my first box and the searching was going as I figured. These were going to be el-skunkos. Then I thought, OK, I will try my &#039;trick&#039;. I went to my car and got a &#039;64 dime I found earlier today and placed it on the table where I was searching. I have this superstition that I need to have some silver on the table nearby to &#039;attract&#039; silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two rolls later I found a dirty &#039;67. That box gave me two 40% and a nice &#039;64. I opened the second box and immediately saw a silver ender and I thought it would be a great box. It ended up giving me two 40% and a really nice &#039;84 proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not great, but better than the old el-skunko.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been doing this for awhile and it seems to work more often than not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else want to admit to any quirks while they roll search? I thought this might be an interesting topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
