2 boxes is way to small a sample size, perhaps you'll get 3 in your next box. The guys finding silver are persistent and the only thing that can be guaranteed is that you will find zero if you stop searching.

Might I suggest you find another source as a next step? Find a source using dunbar or fargo or some other company.
I can appreciate you're feelings, but you're too soon to cry uncle. you need to research a bit.

Very true. The only time that I don't find silver, is when I am not sorting. Dimes, around here, are a consistent 1.3 per $250 box. They will come around if you do enough sorting.
I had a week where I searched 12 boxes (both halves and dimes) and found less than .3 toz. 10 out of 12 skunks. Stuff happens and you just got to keep going. Many on here, BamaJoe comes to mind, have LONG skunk streaks. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Best of luck!!! :D

I just hit a really dry streak myself... I ended up going through $1000 before I found another silver dime.

Don't give up yet !!!

My personal best is $1750 in dimes from two different sources without a single silver. That will make you rethink your sanity :D :D
Back to normal now.......1 or 2 per $250
