A nice chat with the Loomis guys told me all I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW.......
I live in a large city in the Pacific Northwest. When I first started CRHing in May of this year, there was a lot of silver to be found. In boxes and in hand rolls from banks. I got quite a bit. All of a sudden in October after 56 boxes of halves I got my first skunk. Then they kept coming. Box after box. NO SILVER!!! Once in a while I would find a 40%er and maybe a 64 if I opened enough boxes. I knew something was happening and wanted to find out what. I asked a lot of questions of the tellers where I get my boxes from and my dump banks but they had no idea. They just get the delivery or send out the dumps. The one CU I get my boxes from had told me that they get their stuff from “such and such” but I always wondered. I was even shown the slip they use for orders and where it came from.
I took a couple weeks off from the boxes from the one CU and one day when I went back to get some the vault teller tells me that the Loomis guys said….”Oh we see your guy is getting his boxes again”…she says yes and then the guy asks if I might be the same guy getting them from another CU. My lady and I have talked a lot and she knows where the other bank is that I get them from. She said “probably so” or something like that….
A week later when I pick up my boxes from that CU both boxes are marked with the word SILVER with a circle around it and a line though it. She had no clue and couldn’t imagine how anyone in the Loomis thing could know. I found a 64 in both and a 40 in both. …
I went to my other CU a couple days later and got my boxes. BOTH had the same NO SILVER marks on them but this time with a date. One said 9-12 and the other was
11-14. I knew something was going on………
I finally got my chance to find out. I had the opportunity to corner (bad choice of words about a guy that carries a gun) two Loomis guys servicing an ATM while I was at work.
I asked them point blank “which one of you carries a blue felt tip marker” and the conversation went from there….. I told them what I do with CRHing and I was trying to find out some things about the boxes I get, where they come from and their guys marking the boxes. We talked a long time. They told me a lot of stuff and asked me if I get my boxes from one certain CU. I told them yes and they both laughed. They know who the guy/guys are that have been doing the marking. They agreed that they are just messing with me knowing I am getting the boxes for silver hunting.
Then they told me the BAD PART!!! The B of A downtown has a big money vault thing downstairs. They USED to do coin but now only do bills. (I was told by a security guy at the B of A one time there are 20 people down there that count money all day). I see all of the armored trucks coming and going from there all day. LOOMIS does the coins. ALL THE COINS FOR THE WHOLE CITY!!! Take your dumps to the bank, they end up at LOOMIS. Get a box of coins, THEY CAME FROM LOOMIS!!
The guys told me that they used to get some coin from the “big city” but not much any more. They JUST RE-ROLL WHAT THEY GET HERE FROM THE BANKS IN TOWN………..
They also told me that there is a very good chance that I am getting back my own dumps. They told me that there is NO WAY anyone that works there could know, touch, or get any of the silver that comes in. They get boxes, bags or what ever, dump it into a big hopper in the machine, it counts, feeds, rolls and they box. If grandma dumped a load of grand-dads collection into a bank and the tellers didn’t get it first, it’s in the mix. Other wise it's just what comes in. MY DUMPS!!! And who ever else is CRHing.
So the total of the story is I am running out of silver here in town and not sure what I can do about it.
Any suggestions
?

I think its just the owner(s) of this particular company. I wouldn't think the bigger ones would have time.
