Im retiring!

I'm retiring!

Too many skunks, too mant rude tellers, It's just not worth it. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe I'll come back in a while and hopefully the silver has been replenished. But in my area, it's all gone.

I've told my supply banks this will be my last week. The only thing I still have going is my business cards throughout the county. The good tellers still call every once in a while.

Good luck all!

Don't worry - I'll still be around the site. And it's time to break out the little yellow fellow (ace250)

Re: I'm retiring!

I've stopped my boxes. I was doing $4000 a week, but the Jacksonville district has been bled dry. I will be resuming once I line up a supply out of the Ormond/Daytona district.

Re: I'm retiring!

Yep same around me, I did 10 boxes a week only to get 2 or 3 40%'s if im lucky..... I am for the most part taking March off just to see what happens.

Re: I'm retiring!

Come on! What's wrong with yall? All of you know that it just takes that one lucky box to get you hooked again. To me it's relaxing because I work all the time,the babys crying, and momma's probably mad. It's my alone time. If I gave it up I'm really not sure what I would do that didn't really cost me money.............

Re: I'm retiring!

it just takes that one lucky box

but looking at your stats it looks like you have not found that lucky box. approximately 1/3 of your boxes have been skunks. I wish you all the luck in the world, it's just summertime and I think I can do some MDing and let the silver possibly replenish itself then I can go back and get it. Then again, there are some monster hunters in my area

Re: I'm retiring!

you sure were gung ho for quite awhile telling us your plan about buying and dumping, giving out chocolates to tellers etc..........?? seems like your not giving it much of a chance. Skunks are just part of the game

Re: I'm retiring!

I am cutting out the half boxes but will do dimes for a bit longer. I may limit my road trips to one a week after this week. The warm weather is coming and I have other hobbies to pursue.

Dimes are definitely overlooked. I've been hitting the dime boxes hard as there is less hassle. No ordering, and the dump bank welcomes the dime deposit as it saves them money. Each box that I bring them is one less they have to order and pay for. Plus as the weather warms so do the beaches and tourists.

I agree

Re: I'm retiring!

I have been hitting Nickels very hard for the same reason as dimes.... alot easier to get and get rid of.......

Re: I'm retiring!

don't retire....just take a long hiatus and wait for things to replenish. i stopped for a few months because i had exhausted all the banks of thier loosies and handrolls.i haven't had the funds for boxes, so once i exhausted all they had on hand i was done. during that time i did some dimes. now it seems things have replenished some as i have been finding halfs at most banks and did manage to pull some silver recently so i started making the rounds again only work is busy and slowing my hunting down.

Re: I'm retiring!

I am not quitting just reorganizing. I am switching up pick-up banks and will roll over to more dimes for a time. I will do a few more road trips in the future but fewer now that the wifey is back. I did good while it lasted though. My half boxes are in trouble though. That is why I am switching sources to see if I hit a new vein. Dimes should keep me in the game for a while though. Keep trying you guys...it aint over yet. Hate to say it but it is a good thing when the competition bows out. No offense Pdiddy

Re: I'm retiring!

My area is out of silver and clad. Stupid coin dealers keep putting full page ads in the paper about buying silver coins. Im sticking to the dimes until everyone quits the halves after not being able to find anything!

Re: I'm retiring!

I wouldn't give it up, I did what everyone on here has done & that's jump right into it. after a while you loose interest when you don't find as much, then you start thinking about the time & money spent to get what you've got and ya give up.


Now I just make it what it really is & that's a hobby.... Not a job! I stop at banks when I feel like it, if they don't have any I think well atleast I don't have to dump them, I get what I can when I feel like it & I don't have to deal with mean tellers or huge dumps. If I find a few a month I'm much happy now then I was then!

Re: I'm retiring!

It seems that in my small town and surrounding areas there are quite a few more people CRHing. Some of the tellers are good and tell me not to bother with some, that they have been searched. I did about a boxes worth the other day in loose rolls, in an area where I'd always score something. This time no proofs, NIFC's or silver at all, so I know they were all searched.

For me it's just not worth it much anymore. And also for the fact that I have zero access to any machine at all that counts the halves at any bank to dump, and I have to re-roll ALL of them, makes it a pain, been doing it a long time. Maybe I'd order more boxes if there was a dump bank so I didn't have to re-roll, that would be soooo sweet.

But lately I've had my little yella fella out as well. Having more fun doing that right now.

But when I have to drive some distance, CRHing is always on the back of my mind, and I grab the loose rolls where I can.

Too much information........LOL

Anyways my two sense is go ahead and retire. To me this is a hobby, maybe a little obsessed about it though, but a hobby. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt and hoping for those dream boxes. Skunks are part of the game. As well as the coin counters that jip you off on there counting and the mean tellers from time to time. I guess I'm not a fare wether hobbyist. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. All I have to say is good luck to all and to those that quit.... THANKS...... MORE FOR ME....LOL
