    Slow but steady

    Started back to the roll search after giving it a break for a few years. It took about 2 weeks to get thru 4 boxes. Not like when I searching full time and could do 2-4 boxes a day. Now the time to search is in between everything else going on in my life, which is already pretty full. Anyway, wanted to post a couple finds just so you don't think I'm slacking

    I will also admit that although I ran across many doubled dies, RPM's in these boxes, I only kept a couple significant ones. At my age, I'm not interested in starting any new collections or having every sample. For me, it's all about the hunt. Not possessing every minor DDO or RPM. Thanks for looking.

    A couple of nice finds FF.
    2-4 bricks over 4 or even 16 hours was a lot of searching.

    Nice finds Rock! I guess things do change with age, just recently I have been able to let myself drop some minor Shield DDO's in the spend can! But, not many LOL! If they have some pop and still look pretty good, I keep them. But you are right, our searching techniques change as time goes on and we fine tune what we are looking for!

    Very nice finds!! I have learned that everything is relative in life. As much as you have searched though, I'm sure it's hard to totally shake, it's in you blood! Hope you have many more to come.

    I guess I would be more surprised if you did not find anything given the pro you are!

    Thanks for sharing.

    I totally agree Bob! If some of us... myself included, was over there while Rock was searching Lincoln's, we'd be picking up his rejects! For sure!

    The only time I quit searching is if I'm in the hospital or don't have $25!
