N00b Hello>>

So I'd like to say hello, I have been lurking for a week, and just now decided to post. You guys are all very valuable sources of info. I tried my first hunt the other day...it was a box of Garda halves, skunked. Kinda put a downer on things, but I have several banks to choose from, so we'll see about them in the near future.

My wife is a branch manager at a popular bigger-name bank in town, so I have access to SOME info regarding the interests of this website.

I think GARDA pulls silver. Can't confirm...any input on this?

VICTORY Story!

I am a part-time car audio installer at a big box store in town - I was putting a radio in some chick's durango the other day when I smelled silver coming from the center console..(that was a lie. I opened it up and saw it.) So when I rang the woman(about 23) up I questioned her about it. She said that he g'pa runs a gas station, and they pull all old stuff that comes through. I offered her $30 for the 4oz cup of old coins and she bit. Melt value not including wheaties or non-silver nickels is $120. I gave her my number.....call me when you get more

Anywyas, hope to be a bit luckier on the boxes of Brinks from a competitor...

Anyone have luck with Brinks? Do you even have to unwrap the rolls to edge hunt since it's in clear plastic ?


Thanks alot!

I heard that Garda is hiring silver-pickers. That would be a cool job!
Those clear wrapped rolls are easy to search, they are see-through. Never had any luck with 'em. Good luck in the search!

Yep, its confirmed....silver is being pulled. Better give up now.

I'd be a little pissed if I knew you opened things you had no business opening while working on my car. If you needed to be in the console for a reason, then disregard.

Are you talking Halves? My Brink's halves come in paper rolls. Pennies, dimes, and nickels come in the clear plastic "condom" rolls.
I've had luck with Brink's, but I'm sure it's all the luck of the draw. It really just depends on which bank the little old lady cashed in her late husband's collection or where the meth head took his stolen loot to cash it in, in my opinion.

AGC...bluffin' me or being serious? I'm not a quitter

Alot of cars require that you remove or open the console to get to obscure bolts and such...


I guess I didn't know that Brinks paper rolled them, wife only said that Brinks' coin was clear wrapped...maybe she doesn't know about the halves.

Anyways, gonna go around to the area banks and see what I can come up with in loose/CWR halves, it'll be my first time.

Yea screw Garda. I've had 8 boxes of theirs be entire skunks. I say we all only dump at banks that use Garda. Give there 'silver pickers' a break.
