My uncle finally let me search his pile of coins, and so far ive found a wheaty and a 57 rosie, mind you they had just caught my eye as i was handed the cooler (1ft x 8in x 8in) full of coins.
Just took it home (in the car as i write this) and ill keep you guys updated.
With that many coins, may I suggest running a heavy magnet over a pile at a time to weed out the clad a little quicker?
