There may be a few of them floating around in more remote parts of the country, but it would be a very unusual occurrence to find one because it's been over 50 years since the last one was printed (March, 1964).
The Treasury never officially withdrew silver certificates - they simply halted redemption for silver metal, so they functioned exactly the same as Federal Reserve Notes. It was possible to find a few in circulation as late as the mid-1970s. Since then most would have either worn out or been saved because of their distinctive appearance.

What does a silver certificate really mean?
When silver certificates were originally issued the government controlled the price of silver and had a large hoard in various locations as backing for currency. Only as many silver certificates could be printed as there was silver to back them up, so it was a way of controlling the amount of money in circulation and holding down inflation. Citizens were allowed to take silver certificates to banks and some government offices where they could be exchanged for an equivalent amount of metal. As the economy changed they only became exchangeable for silver coins, which made them effectively the same as other kinds of paper currency except that they still had to be backed by silver. By the 1960s market pressure on silver (much from the electronic and photography industries) forced the government to deregulate its price and start selling its hoard. They stopped printing silver certificates and abandoned the policy of exchanging them for metal. By 1963 all U.S. currency printed was either Federal Reserve or U.S. Notes, which were not backed by any metal in the Treasury. U.S. Notes were discontinued shortly after that, around 1966 because they were entirely equivalent to FRN's.

Silver certificates were never officially withdrawn.

Silver certificates gradually wore out and were replaced by new FRNs during the normal course of currency replacement. They occasionally showed up in circulation well into the 1970s, possibly later in some parts of the country.

Does the US still print silver certificates?
The last silver certificates were printed in the early 1960s, although they were dated 1957 B. During the 19th century silver certificates were at some point printed in every denomination from $1 to $1000. Only $1, $5, and $10 bills were printed as silver certificates during the 20th century. When the price of silver was deregulated the government could no longer exchange silver certificates for a fixed amount of metal, so redemption was halted to prevent people from speculating on price fluctuations. Because they were no longer "convertible", silver certificates became just like other bills in circulation. There was no longer any need for separate types of paper money so production was stopped. By 1969 all $1, $5, and $10 bills were issued as Federal Reserve Notes. Silver certificates remained in circulation but gradually disappeared as they wore out.
