My brother tried hunting (PIC!)

[packerbacker]

My brother from Wisconsin gave it a shot. He got $1000 worth. From his description it sounds like they came in 2 bags, not boxes. Not sure yet. Anyway, he got 9 40%, 8 1964s, 20 Franklins and 12 Walking Libertys! He's hooked!!

Don't know, I asked him but haven't heard back. I'll post if I hear anything.

He may have the entire state to himself.There's only one other hunter on here from Wisconsin and he hasn't posted in a while,maybe he quit or slowed down.

What I don't get is his boxes were producing nothing or very little this year and your bro is just starting and gets the best 2 boxes worth of anybody this year.That's what I call beginners LUCK!

Maybe since the other guy stopped or slowed down the boxes had a chance to replenish themselves and will produce for a while.

These aren't the best 2 boxes reported for silver content(can't ever beat LA) but I believe it is the most 90%er's found in 2 boxes worth this year.WOW.

He should should go through the rejects again,with those totals of WL and Franklin's,he may have overlooked 3 or 4 Barbers. .

By the way did you remind him to NOT mention his finds or what he is doing to the BANK or ANYONE else?

I haven't seen boxes like this in over 5 years!They were common prior to that.Back in the day's when there were just a few hunters around,now it is nearly impossible to find a bank where the tellers don't know to pull silver or there is always a guy who came the day or week before you "looking for halves". .

He told them he is filling books and upgrading coins with grandkids. They think he's sweet. .

Wow...that is a super start. Gotta like all those Franklin's and Walker's. Tell him congrats and keep plugging which I am sure he will now....ha!

What an amazing way to start!

What part of Wisconsin is he in (NE, NW, SE, SW)? I'm in WI and have never been lucky enough to make a find like that. I have had much better luck with bags than boxes so I always like to find them.

 

[Silver_Fox]

Great start, another CRHer hooked.

 

[packerbacker]

He's about Central Wisconsin. He said they came loose in 2, clear plastic bags from the Chicago Federal Reserve. btw, no key dates but who cares huh?

We probably won't overlap areas, I'm more Southern WI. I would be more than happy with all commons with that many Walkers and Bens.
