Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:
In August 2013, please post your finds right here. HIGHLIGHTS OF JULY'S SILVER SEARCHING:LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL TO CARRY THE SILVER STATS IN 2013. I WILL HELP YA' GET SET UP, BUT IT'S A BIT MUCH FOR ME THESE DAYS. SEND ME A PM, IF INTERESTED. (I WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE COPPER STATS.) IF NOT, EVEN WITHOUT THE STATS, I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MONTHLY THREAD FOR ALL TO POST. COMING SOON!!
It's important to post your SKUNKS as well as your great SILVER finds. That keeps the statistics honest. I'll try to post some graphs of our SILVER finds as 2013 proceeds along by adding data to this initial post. I'll see if I can post some interesting insights into the data here in this initial post for 2013 too. Even though this is a national tabulation of all our finds, I think its fun to know what finds are being made and at what frequentcy.
It might be interesting to see how many Barbers, Walkers, Franklins, and 90% Kennedys are found too. Also, how many Barbers and Mercurys dimes we find. I'll try to keep track of all of these.
Now, go out and find that SILVER treasure!!
Those of you who are considering becoming RealCent members - Why not join today and stake your SILVER claims right here? Compete with other members in the race to see who is the best SILVER hunter. Statistical data includes all posts August 01, 2013 mid-night forum time and later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Streaks happen.... good and bad ones. Before this little streak of skunks I had a nice run of about 8 or 9 boxes where I found the good stuff. Either way it's something to do while I watch TV.
What part of SC? I've got family in Columbia and Charleston.

Had a tough time at the bank today, they said they can't give me dimes because they need them for coprate stuff, so trying not to get mad knowing that there was more silver in that I went to another bank got $60 and skunked might try to go back to a different teller and hope they give me some.

I believe it was adamsp27 who cleaned that area out a couple years ago. He was finding a lot in half boxes, but the finds fell off am I haven't seen him on here in awhile. Search for his posts and you will see what I mean. He was either in NC or SC can't remember for sure.
