Hey All, Had the penny epiphany the other day and hit all 4 of the local banks in my small town in Colorado. I sorted 25000 by hand and then fount the Ryedale. I'm getting one asap!

Several questions:
1- Is there anyone in Colorado sorting and hoarding?
2- I bought 4 boxes ($100) dated 3/14/08, I sorted 5 roles and not 1 pre '82. All the loose ones I sorted came up about 19% pre '82. Are the "Big Boys" already pulling the copper?
3- What kind of % ratios are people getting across the country?

I haven't bothered to start sorting my pocket change yet but I have dug primarily pre-82 since I got a detector with VDI. :D

The local parks use nitrate fertilizer and zinc cents come up looking like oatmeal cookies the mice have been into after even a short time in the soil. I just got to the point I usually pass on them unless it's a REALLY slow day. ::)
