Silver is drying up....yeah right. (Read 526 times)

Posted Dec 02, 2009, 05:19:37 PM
Read the past two weeks of finds and tell me that silver is drying up.  It seems to me that a few made some exceptional scores and many had very good scores.  I think it will be out there for quite some time.  People still die, people still get robbed, some people don't manage their money well and still others simply don't know the value of what they have.

    You are so right !  I'm getting really sick of these people who act as if they are owed anything
     more than a clad half when they go and ask for halves . Where is the gratitude ? what makes
    it a thrill when you find a goodie ,is that you found something a bit unusual ! I am convinced
     that the complainers are wrong , and I can easily argue the point from 30+ years experience .
      Thank you for putting the truth out there ,it is sorely needed now .    Argentium.

Just out of curiosity, over the course of 30 years when silver dropped below $4.00 an ounce, did you dump the 40% halves ?

    Rich , I've been all over the map with respect to 40% ---trade , sell , spent a lot of them at
    face when they were under a buck melt , currently I'm not very sweet on them - I will sell
    them locally at about 2 bucks per , at a brick and morter store. I know better offers are
    available on line , but rather than deal with pack and ship , I'll just trade them for 90%silver at
    the local coin shop- or take the cash - Happy hunting !   Argentium.

Keep in mind though, for every post of an exceptional find, there are dozens, scores, hundreds (take your pick) of other searches that yield zilch and don't get posted.

Indeed.  Good point.  Most of what you see here are exceptional finds.

I'd buy your 40% halves at $2 each.  If you care to diversify on your sels that is.  :-)  PM me if you have an interest.

I'm not implying that every trip to the bank will net silver.  I just mean that if you work it you'll get something.  I've gotten one at least one really good score per week for the past three months.  I've also had bad days (like today).  Newbies expecting to get rich with one trip the to bank will be let down.  It takes a certain diligence to enjoy this hobby.

The least expensive way is to do alot of boxes, the more you go driving around doing Banks the less profit your gonna make, there is no way your going to get rich doing this, just no way; if your careful in your planning- actions, and lucky you can cumulatively make some money. We have been at it for almost 9 months, have had 3 months where we netted less than 40 oz Silver all the rest were more, even had 3 over 100, one was as high as 189 ,but our overall average is under100 oz month. And with the number of CRH'ers am finding Banks tellers talking about numbers of folks asking is a bad sign for us who CRH.
