Was heading to a job site in OH so I laid out a bunch of banks starting a little SW of Cleavland and headed south from there weaving back and forth. I laid out approx 54 bank from there to my final destination. I avoided the bigger towns/cities and focus on the small towns and country areas so they are a little fewer and farther between. The path with 54 points totaled to 403 miles and 9hrs of driving!
I got to the first bank, my start point, at 10:30am and went bank to bank marking off and punching the next target into the Infiniti at every stop. I now just give up at 4pm on banks because it's hit or miss if they are open after that. Enough of them close at 4pm that I just pack it up at 4. When 4pm rolled around I had hit 25 banks (because 2 didn't exist anymore) and collected approx $1200 in halves. I only left halves 'on the table' at one bank because they had a clear bag with $700 in the valt. I 'sampled' $200 of it in the car and there wasn't 1 silver so I left w/o going back in for the rest. It was early on and I had only brought a little over $2K on hand so I didn't want to blow it all early on someones dumps and didn't want to hit an ATM and pay fees.
Twice I went to banks that were about 10 miles apart and hit the same dumps with marked wrappers. It's a frustrating feeling to find a bank with $300 in the valt, tell them that you'll take them all and then get handed 30 rolls with "X"s on them or Pink and Purple marker rings around them. It's even more frustrating to get 20 min down the road and have it happen AGAIN with the same rolls lol.
Anyway, completed about half of my laid out banks so far and it wasn't a complete skunk but I would say it was pretty tuff hunting! ALL of my finds came from one bank that had 6 rolls/$60 in halves. Those 6 rolls gave me 10 - 40%'s. If all goes as planned, I will be headed back home in a few days and will be trying to hit the other 25 banks when I leave. I will be able to start at 9am and hopefully get them all in by 4pm, then continue home. The plus side is that I get paid to do a road trip and CRH and get my mileage/gas paid for
Hopefully I'll have better luck on the second half...I'll post back!
