We are back at it this week with a great half-dollar silver hunt. We were all super excited about the hunt. If this is your first time reading about our half-dollar silver hunt let me give you the quick rundown. We have an outstanding order with or local bank for $1,000 worth of half dollars. They come in two $500 boxes. Our bank orders them for us ever week. We search through them looking for silver half-dollars, keeping the silver ones and taking the others back to a different bank to get our cash back. Each week we repeat the process.

This week was a good week. Right off the bat we found silver. See if you can spot it in the stack.

If you guessed the third one down from the top you are correct. That was the only silver we found in the first box. Now it is on to the second one. Would you know it the first roll in the second box my son finds another silver half-dollar. He was pretty excited.

We ended up finding three 40% silver half-dollars this week.

And this beautiful 2007 S mint mark proof. Not too bad at all, we are always happy when we find silver.

Thank you for taking the time to follow along. Come back next week to see if we strike silver again!

Hopefully your bad streak is over and you'll keep finding silver!!! As for the proof coin, are you keeping those as well? And if so how many apx have you found?

Yes we keep the proof ones. I have never looked into selling them. We have 8 of them so far.

Excellent! They may not be worth too much right now but if I had to guess they will at least be worth more than .50 at some point!

Great finds @bowentroyer! That silver must be really starting to add up.

We are getting a nice little stack. Thank you for reading and commenting

Nice! So glad you found some keeps the kids excited! And it is silver! As always thanks for sharing

Thank you for following along

WOW, $1,000 in half dollars per week is a lot. Congrats on your finds and good luck for your future hunts.

Thank you very much. Thanks for reading

Awesome! Passing on the silver-bug fever to the next generation...well done!

What a cool idea! I bet the bank is wondering why you buy so many silver coins, haha!

They do look at us funny;)

I am not American but every since I found a silver half dollar on the floor of an abandoned home I have kept it in my pocket. Carry it with me everywhere, every day.

Why are you looking for those coins? What do you do with the silver ones?

We save the silver ones. We keep them for their silver content

Thanks for answering. I thought you maybe transformed them into something, melted them.

I once met a guy who created guitar picks from silver coins, not dollars, but still silver coins. There are also vids on youtube showing how people turn a coin into a ring creating jewelry from them.

Good luck hunting.

I'd be happy finding silver too! I think this is a great way to spend some family time and have lots of fun too.

It has become a highlight of our week. We all look forward to it.
