Hey all!
Been getting into CRH as well as detecting in the field, and wanted to ask people to post their best practices...

After going through a couple boxes of halves I started just looking at the edges. With some practice of the eye, the silver just jumps out at me.
I don't think I am missing any silver by just looking at the edges.
Dimes likewise...
But what else might I be missing?
Are there a significant number of doube-strikes or error coins or non-silver key dates out there in dimes or halves that would warrant inspecting each one?
Other than silver, is there anything out there that people look for in CRHing?
Is there any kind of CRH most wanted list?

Thanks!
Happy hunting all!
 
I don't worry about error coins and such, but I DO check out any edge that is different than the norm. I have found 7 very dirty silvers that otherwise would have been missed. Good luck on all your hunts, both at the bank and in the dirt. : )
 
Be on the look out for what seem to be "extra" thick and "new" looking halves from the edges. I have pulled out 2 proofs so far along with the silver...:)

Here are some pics of the varying "dirtyness" of Silver...
