We usually average about 20 wheats a box.Before yesterday's box we did 3 boxes and only got a little over 20 wheats between all 3 boxes,yesterday's box made up for that.
We got 64 wheats,9 Canadians and after a recount of the coppers we got 694 coppers.We also found some coin from Peru?Our oldest wheat was 1914 and the one canadian was 1950.Sweet!!

We started off finding 3 roll Enders.

I would consider 20 wheats an outstanding box, I think I usually average maybe 12-13 or so.

It is Peruvian, and worth very little.

Figures.lol

Still fun finding....

Those last 4 cent boxes we went through were a bust.We ended up finding 24 wheats,13 Canadians and a little over 100 coppers and that was counting 82's were not sure are copper or zinc.No obvious errors either.

We also found a One Cent from the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.Just another cool find for the different ones.

We got one of those starfish Bahamas cents in one of our early boxes. Yours looks a lot nicer though - mine looked like it had traveled from the Bahamas inside a fish and washed up on the beach.

It did, and I found it with my metal detector and cashed it in :blackbeard:
