One year of hand sorting (summary)

[spacemanX]

First of all, i want to say thanks to everyone here. when i found this site a year ago, and saw what everyone has been finding, i was amazed (and a little disbelief). so
I started by getting a box (or two). After that, i was hooked again. Keeping statistics of what i have found seemed logical, and in line with my personality. It has reignited my interest in coins again, and has provided many, many hours of entertainment.
Here are the finds so far thru July 1st.

pennies searched: 594,100 (only kept this statistic since the beginning of 2013, so 6 months)
Wheats found: $46.82
Pre 1940 (357 in 2013)
dates/mints not found: 26
errors: 4 2009 lincoln on the log
Indians: 10 total, 2013 - 6, 2012 - 4 oldest 1867
1909 - 2
lowest mintage found: (1933d) 6,200,000
highest mintage not found (1911) 101 million - go figure

Biggest challenge - finding a dump bank(s)

goal is to search 1 million in 2013. Good luck all, happy hunting

It looks like you are doing pretty good. I need to keep better records myself. I usually hunt a while and then take a break for a bit.

Keep going

Very impressive! I thought I was a prolific hand sorter. You're like 4x faster than me! If you don't get sick of it, you're on track to hit 1,000,000 in one year...

Wow, with those numbers hand sorting we might have to classify you as a machine sorter

[HoardCopperByTheTon]

Wow.. those numbers are higher than many machine sorters! At that level finding a dump bank or 2 can be a real challenge.
