Just passed my half way point.

Postby alpacafarmer » Mon May 20, 2013 10:19 am

This week I passed my halfway point to my goal. I now have hand sorted 500,000 coppers if I make it to a million I may set a new goal. I started out wanting to get $100 that went quick so I upped it to 100,000 then 1 ton. The last bag I sorted also had 195 wheats.

Goals are great, but I tend to set new ones as I reach 'em. Good going, and keep it up.

Congratulations. I've done a little less than half that much; not sure I'll ever get to where you are.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

Wow, that is a lot of sorting and hand washing! How long does it take you to go through a bag? What is the FV of your bags?

FV of the bags would be $5000. That would be 100 bags. Weight would be approximately 1.67 tons. That is some serious hand sorting! :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
