Road Trip

[dakota1955]

This past week I had a chance to go back to the town that I did my banking at. When I got at the bank I asked for dimes nickels and halves as I always did. The head teller came and told me that I will find silver. In fact as I loaded the $500 bag of halves I could see silver ones in the bag. So today I sorted the bag today and the wife wanted to help so I let her and she had fun. Total count was $61 of 40% but also 2 40% proof a 68 and a 70 that is the first time I ever found a 70-s silver half. Road trip again?

Bully!

Did you find out who died and where else the widow might be dropping silver?

Makes me miss my sorting days! Great find

yes it's to bad that town is 5 hours away or I would go back more often. I was looking for some 90% but didn't find any.

That's great! Awesome finds. I was on a great roll for a long time and then for about 5 weeks it dried up and then I went through two boxes of halves in the last 2 days and there was at least 1 40 or 90% in each roll. Feels good to get those for free. Specially when the teller says you will like it

Congratulations on your finds. In this time of tightness it makes it a extra sweet.

yeh, but holy samolian! that's just shy of 30 toz of Ag ....AND a 1970 to boot!!

Dakota, lemme ask a serious question.......you cut across 5 hours of prime time spring wheat land I assume......generally how did it look?

Wheat these days is like silver...undervalued, and since I don't trust a commodity exchange that doesn't have a trading pit, I wont trade futures, but it might be time to buy MORE of those sealed buckets of wheat berries....did you know, properly bucketed, wheat berries stay good for 25 years?....and with a quality stainless steel hand mill, you're set to go.

I know we discuss stacking PM's, but I myself personally am thinking what is money?...or what OTHER forms, besides PM's and BM's are money, tradable, crucial and in demand when "currency" fiat turns into the stuff you use for kindling, because you don't want to use good cardboard as kindling for the wood stove, no more.

a bucket of wheat berries, that's what. in July I placed a GOOD sized order for buckets of hard WHITE winter wheat berries.....$15, do you believe that? I got a lots of hard red spring wheat buckets, which make a more "whole" wheat bread, so I wanna have some fun, and make a softer, whiter bread. I love wheat, just writing about it, makes me wonder, could I get buckets of semolina wheat berries, and at what price?

i'm sorry to go off topic, but I sure admire North Dakota, you all are pretty hardy folk, I'm not far...relatively speaking, upper Midwest, right near the Great River..(but no where near the twin cities....God have mercy)

almost 30 toz of Kenn 40's! you know, that's going to be a GREAT trading coin someday......almost a billion pieces, and close to a fifth an ounce? God love you Dakota, neil

Thank you sir.

just for yucks, in case your interested, here's the August Crop Production report in text, a lot of people think crop reports/forecasts are boring...I could look at this for an hour:
