Nice Run of Bags This Week

Bank had some bags for me to run. I took eight $50 bags and ran them through the Ryedale.

Total keepers for $400 search.....$157.33 coppers/wheat/canadian/foreign. $242.77 went bank to the dump bank!

Kick but rate of 38+%. I will say the number of wheats are drastically low. Again, I will have more Canadian coppers from this search than wheats!

But 38% over 8 bags is AWESOME. There's some good copper still floating around!!!!!

Still waiting on my next wheatie hoard bag. Been over a year since I got a 100+ production of wheats in one bag!

Nice, my percentages finally went back to normal. 28% for this week. Last week I was at 7 pennies for $50 . lol Roll searching has been VERY slow for me lately so I told the bank not to order me any for a couple of weeks. Then of course, 5 rosies showed up. :lol:

Though I am a small 'hand sorter' ... doing just a few rolls every so often, I too have found the percentage of Wheat Ear Cents really dropping off ... noticeably so, at least for me. I generally used to figure about 10-15 wheats per 25.00 box, but that has dropped recently to only 1 or 2. Canadian cents remain about the same - 3-5 per 25.00 box. I am around 28-30% copper which includes the 1982s that are all weighed and then separated.

Good numbers! I may have to get a couple of boxes myself to search. My wheatie hoard tells me that it wants to grow a little bit more ;)

Nice to hear you hit a little copper "vein" in those bags...I've been lucky to maintain a solid 30% for the last several months.

5 bags to pick up in Merrillville.....not Bradley in the morning!

Yep it would be nice to help out lance.........just don't have that much powder laying around!

I will add this though, when I was talking with lance about sorting issues and Ryedale stuff, he wasn't taking the wheats out......so his pile is kinda "unsearched"!

That alone made me want a crack at that pile!

I wish that I could pick up bags instead of boxes. What banks have bags? I live in Michigan, the State that doesn't have any banks that take loose change or have a coin counter in the lobby, lol.
