Pick up 16 boxes of half dollars from my bank today, and all skunks!!!!
5 boxes from Chase, 5 boxes from Regions, and 6 boxes from 5/3 bank.
$300 worth of CWR produced - 1 - yes 1 40%

I'll have 15 more boxes of halves on the way, should be getting them on Wednesday, will post the results.

16,000 coins with no silver. that would be enough for me to throw in the towel. Hopefully you find better luck in future finds.

16 is not so bad. Let me know when you get 99 out of 100 skunks - - That was my last outing with halves. (and no, I am not kidding) I would suggest mixing in some other coins and not go all or nothing on the halves.

Good luck.

You'll never believe this, but when I read your OP, I was going to post a funny quip about you being from Indiana.

I've been on skunk streaks like that...I am currently at 12 or 14 boxes right now, all of them skunks, and all of them in Indiana.

No surprise, with big evil Jackson Metals next door in Ohio trying to pull all the Silver out of circulation.

Actually I'm on my 32 skunk boxes of August, and I'm sure I'll be breaking your record, based of my last month 's result.....78 straight skunks.....
July was a terrible month for me, I found a total of two 90% n five 40% , out of $1867.50 CWR/teller's tray.

Oh , so all those skunk cwr marked " X" or " / " that I 've been getting, were your dump? thank you..haha..
But for real, INDIANA is BAD for this hobby lately. I've been doing this since about 1996, and it use to be okay, up until 2007 , and it started going down-hill.
And this year is the worst!!! I think I'll have to start metal detecting, or just hold a sign on the side of highway exit..... j/k..
But for real, I'm thinking about taking road trip to the closest big city - St Louis, Cincinnati , or even Louisville, hope I'll get better luck.

There was a post in here not to long ago, about two or three months, where a company in Indiana had claimed to have culled all the silver
from the state. Seems they were going through 1,000 half dollars boxes a day for over six months time. When they finished, their claim to fame was that they had all the silver coinage that Indiana had to offer....

That might be the reason for the 16 skunk boxes...
