Any good teens?

I have found some teens for sure...I usually separate my findings by decade. Also found a 1909 VDB and a 1909 S over the years...still no S VDB though! Someday maybe!!!

Yeah I hand sort everything, always have. Helps pass the time and quite honestly I enjoy it! It's meditative for me!

If I have a ryedale it would probably take that away from me! Sure I can up my volume big time but then it would no longer be fun for me since this is the way I have done it all along.

Unless anyone is giving away a free ryedale?!?!

How long/many boxes did it take for you to hit 1K?

I did it in about a year BUT I did score a HUGE batch from CWR about this time last year. That yielded close to 600 wheats 20+\- were steel. It was clearly an old collection dump!

All in all I have done probably 30 or more boxes. In addition to that score. I average roughly 12-15 per box and I didn't start keeping accurate records until late last year when I created a spreadsheet. Some boxes are better and I am hoping to yield more from a new pick up bank!

I have also found the occasional spare change wheat and the wheat from the street.

I do know that I will have accurate numbers for my next 1000 but without hitting a 600 coin jackpot it will take waaaaaaaayyyy longer!
