i have two banks that i pick up from in my area. one mostly has just boxes and the other has 50.00 bags and they call me when they have there bags full so they dont need to roll them making it nice for both them and myself. i average about 33% copper per bag that is until i poured my last bag into the ryedale which produced 64.5% copper. only drawback was that there was only 4 common wheats and 3 canadian. they more than likely came from someones piggy bank that they had for several years. they just called me again and they had two more bags for me that i just picked up. will update on how these two bags go when i get a chance

Man, wouldn't it be great to pull nearly 65% every bag or box! I caught one of those piggy bank dumps last Friday. Came out to 70% with only two wheats and one canadian. I have noticed that when the copper yield is over my 26% average the percentage of wheats goes down. It seems like the piggy bank dumpers hang onto the wheaties.

I was averaging about 18% during the months of Nov and Dec. Seems like the copper play has been getting much more attention due to the $4+ news. My % from the same sources has now been as low as a disappointing 12%. Hopefully, this isn't going to be a new downward trend. Finding 33% from bags? More Cu for less work is great by anyone's standards.

12-18% is very dissapointing. i also should have added that i average 33% with boxes as well. just like clock work, i pick up 4 boxes, run them through the ryedale which of course afterwards i change the accept coin to a newer zinc to find older wheats then return all the zincs to my dump bank which is always 65.00-67-00

I usually avergae @25 %, but lately it has been up to 30 %. Last night my 1st 12 rolls were all cu, the person was nice enough to mark them as cu. Each roll had 1960's-cu, 1970's cu. Checked each roll and he was right. I'll finished what's left tonight.
