My son has found several silver coins in our local dealer's junk foreign coin boxes. Have any of you had such luck?

Our local dealer has closed recently. Hopefully they will open again soon, my son wants to go mining for silver again.

    I wish, Local shop here has a Huge treasure like chest full of foreign coins for sale by the pound. They must have a Silver Magnet or something.

    I've only found a few foreign Silver coins in junk boxes, they're about as common as hen's teeth.

    I'm trying to remember what show it was, but I'm thinking it was about Coinstar; they had equipment that sorted the coins and could tell if a coin was silver. If the technology is there I'd think somewhere up the chain a large dealer of such coins would have it.

    Our local guys are small time. They don't have the time or the equipment to look for the silver. They are good guys. They are excited for my son when he finds silver.
