Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In December 2014, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF NOVEMBER'S SILVER SEARCHING:

LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL TO CARRY THE SILVER STATS IN 2014. 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 2014 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 2014 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 December 01, 2014 mid-night forum time and later.

Wednesday's box of halves yielded.....1 x 54 , 2 x 65, 5 x 66, 2 x 67, and 5 x 68!!!!! And my first 2014!

I volunteered with the US Marine Corps League's Toys for Tots campaign this year, and 3 days we stood in the middle of intersections around town.......I am not authorized to release the official amount we raised this year, but we did take in around $1500.00+ in coins alone including dollar coins, half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.

They told me they dont hand count the change, but rather just dump it at the bank after the fundraiser is over. I asked if before doing so if they wouldnt mind if I searched through it all first looking for rare coins, silver coins, foreign coins, gold coins, etc.

I told them I would pay well higher than any coin shop in town for anything rare or valuable, so they allowed me to do so.

Unfortunately, the results were not as good as I expected, but at least they allowed me to do it, so that way I knew, and wouldnt lay around wondering what may have been, and never known. I didnt search the cents as closely as I could have, I only had about 8 hours to search everything, and it would have taken days, I am sure I missed some wheats, but I looked closely enough to know I didnt miss any indian heads or whatever.

results:
