2014: The Hunter and the Hunted

[TheMastermind]

I picked up two boxes of halves yesterday for the first hunt of the new year.

One was a skunk, the other gave up one 40%er: 1968D.

My goal for this year is to find 100 ozt.

All but one of my dump banks have gotten new upgraded coin machines. The new machines no longer have the shallow-pitch tube leading to the reject tray, it's now pretty much a vertical straight shot to the reject tray. I haven't found anything in these new coin machines since being installed.

Luckily, the one dump bank with the old machines is the most heavily-used branch in my area and was the one I found the most goodies at in previous years. Hopefully they hold out on getting these new coin machines.

That sucks. All the banks i use have old machines but I never find anything in the reject chutes. I know what style machine you're talking about, though.

Dumped $500 in halves today, found a Mercury dime in the reject tray: 1942.

Picked up two boxes of dimes and have a box of halves sitting at home unsearched, will be going through all of that tonight.

Great job on finding some silver. .. Some is better than none.

That's pretty good. A little more for the pile and like Buff said before, a little is sure better than nothing. I was skunked with my two boxes today but Im hoping for better luck with my (hopefully) three boxes tomorrow.

H$H!

Picked up two boxes of halves + $170 in CWR of halves + $20 in Ikes yesterday. Skunked on the boxes and didn't find anything in the Ikes.

The CWR gave up one 40%er: 1968D.

Dumped the halves and Ikes today, found a Mercury dime in the teller's tray: 1944.

Picked up two more boxes of halves to search tonight.

The two boxes of halves from the other day were skunks.

Man, that really suck about the new machines, hopefully the last bank holds out for you, I enjoy reading the reject finds you get. HH, Maverick.

I've noticed the same thing, most of my banks have gotten new machines also, it must be a company-wide thing, but I am actually kinda happy because none of the older machines that I use(d) rejected silver, and the new ones will be more reliable and accurate.

Apparently these new machines have their own problems, two of my dump banks have complained that the motherboards have fried and they already had to replace them.

I was dumping at at a bank with 2 machines yesterday and the other coin machine just turned off while somebody was dumping into it. I'm glad I wasn't using that machine lol
