Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In July 2014, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF JUNE'S SILVER SEARCHING:

LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL TO CARRY THE SILVER STATS IN 2014. I WILL HELP YA' GET SET UP, BUT IT'S A BIT MUCH FOR ME THESE DAYS. SEND ME A PM, IF INTERESTED. (I WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE COPPER STATS.) IF NOT, EVEN WITHOUT THE STATS, I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MONTHLY THREAD FOR ALL TO POST.

COMING SOON!!

It's important to post your SKUNKS as well as your great SILVER finds. That keeps the statistics honest. I'll try to post some graphs of our SILVER finds as 2013 proceeds along by adding data to this initial post. I'll see if I can post some interesting insights into the data here in this initial post for 2013 too. Even though this is a national tabulation of all our finds, I think its fun to know what finds are being made and at what frequentcy.

It might be interesting to see how many Barbers, Walkers, Franklins, and 90% Kennedys are found too. Also, how many Barbers and Mercurys dimes we find. I'll try to keep track of all of these.

Now, go out and find that SILVER treasure!! :mrgreen:

Those of you who are considering becoming RealCent members - Why not join today and stake your SILVER claims right here? Compete with other members in the race to see who is the best SILVER hunter.

Statistical data includes all posts July 01, 2014 mid-night forum time and later.

I am a little bit excreted. Visiting Nebraska and found a bank willing to give me both cents and halfs. First time I visited a bank in months that both knew what half dollars were and had some.

Will be sorting next week.

$250 Dime Boxes
Box 1--skunk
Box 2--skunk
Box 3--skunk
Box 4--skunk

Since my source banks switched to String boxes(from Loomis) I've had 8 skunks in a row. Maybe just a run of bad luck, or the summer silver doldrums.
