Unblievable Cu %

Postby Dave » Wed Oct 17, 2012 8:45 am

Late summer and early fall my % are @ 80% on $600 of CWR. The best part is that I'm getting full rolls of Cu from different branches of the same bank.it started with $50 of solid Cu, went back the next day and got $50 more of solid Cu. It has been going that way for the last 8 weeks. I wasn't getting any wheats and a few canadian until yesterday. This last batch of CWR had wheats and Canadian from the late 20's on thru the 40's.The best part of all this, is very little zinc to return.

To get that kind of copper percentage you must be getting someones copper hoard that the wife is dumping.

Outstanding!

I ran into one of those hoards within two months of first starting (literally, someone's granddad had just died), and got a couple of quick CTUs out of it. Beginner's luck I guess. Haven't run into another one that large since, though I keep trying at a couple of locations that get a lot of CWR. (A couple of mini-hoards since, but only handfuls of rolls.)
