Well, it's not how I would have chosen to end the month or year, but you take it as it comes.

Half Box #196 - Skunk.


Couldn't help but pull out the records and see how the year went.

432 40%'s and 230 90%'s from 196 boxes - averaged 3.37 silvers per box.

Total take of 147.08 ounces or .7504 oz per box.

At today's closing price total melt value is $4546.24 or $23.19 per box.

Not bad for just a partial year of sorting, after all how many "hobbies" actually show a profit?

See you folks on the other side.
