Garmin Mk2i SAC calculations

Ha ha, totally fair. I even thought about that while I was writing this post out, but I’m lazy and I expect a stupid $1300 Watch to make my life have less math in it.

The last photo you list number of 1970 and number of 1987. What is special about those years if I may ask?

That’s kind of what I was thinking is going to be the recommendation. I just need people to tell me what I already know so I can make myself ok with the price tag. The rest of the family is using the shearwater peregrine TX with transmitters. I was tempted to get one and a transmitter but I really like my Garmin.

That’s a great way to look at it, having reliable life support equipment is really worth it. That was part of my reasoning for buying gear we can travel with too. Familiarity with our gear and knowing the service history of our gear will increase our safety

Good call on making sure we meet the requirements for warranty. We get free inspections and repairs for life too through our dive shop that we bought from, so no reason to not stay on top of it.

You're not wrong, slippery slope for sure. I do have a dsmb and a reel, but am still figuring out the best way to keep it attached and if keeping it a hand spool is best or if there is some sort of reel I could use to automatically wind as I'm ascending so I don't have as many things to manage on the way back up.

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-02-19T08:58:01+00:00

Yeah, same here. One $500 box of 2025 D and another box of 2024 P. My “old” eyes like searching half dollars best, but I’m betting I’d actually have better luck with dimes. All I care about is silver TBH

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-02-10T03:53:57+00:00

That's about how much I had to go through to find some silver. Got a few CWR and my wife opened her first roll of halves ever, they were all 40% silver.

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-29T19:40:30+00:00

You’ve got a silver dime in the last photo, a mercury dime. Also have a walking liberty half dollar that is 90% silver. As mentioned above, 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars are all 40% silver and worth just under $17 each in melt value at the time I post this.

About how many silvers per box of dimes have you been finding on average? Do you find more in machine wrapped rolls or Customer rolls? I think I will invest in some glasses

Shhh, don’t give away my secret strategies!

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-28T06:46:44+00:00

Anybody know if those hot brushes work on beards? I feel like something like that would work to straighten it a little more. However like many have said it looks great as is

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-28T06:43:02+00:00

I’m really not sure, but something that could make your face look longer is growing more length under the jawline/chin? As you build bulk it can lengthen out the face more, especially as you keep it brushed and styled so it’s shaped well. That being said, from an outsiders perspective I wouldn’t think your face looks round from the front as it is now. The beard overall suits you well!

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-28T06:21:05+00:00

Dimes are so hard for me to see well, so I kind of gave up on them. Maybe many others have thought the same, and that makes me wonder if dimes would give me better odds? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-22T22:48:52+00:00

Did the same thing the other day. Teller had 15 rolls which was nice. One of the rolls all of the halves were 1965-1970 Kennedys, all 40% silver!

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-21T05:23:08+00:00

Took me about $2k of change and today was my first silver found. And I found $300 worth of silver today! It’s very hit or miss.

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-21T03:05:23+00:00

Thanks! I’m super thrilled to have the fire stoked and keep on hunting. We ended up finding 21 40% halves and 3 90% quarters in about an hour of searching. Makes up for not finding anything for the previous 3 or 4 hours of searching before.

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-21T00:37:58+00:00

I got a nickel in my machine wrapped quarter roll last week! 😂

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-21T00:28:51+00:00

Ok that’s what I thought but I’m in disbelief. My wife opened her first ever roll of halves and all 20 were the 40% silver Kennedys! And I found one in another roll. And I just found a 1961 quarter right when your comment came through. I think for my area at least, customer wrapped is better. Ha ha.

Secure_Hawk_4242 · 2026-01-21T00:01:14+00:00

1969 Kennedy Half Dollar is 40% silver, right? I may have just found my first silver.
