$7 in pennies, YTD totals, and updates

[FiresEye]

Did $7 in shotgun rolls and was pulling 10% or more CU.. very nice batch. Also nabbed a 1922 and 1942 Wheatie. Just yesterday I pulled a almost uncirculated wheat from another batch of pennies.

In total, I have $120 in face value copper pennies. Took me forever to get that many, but I've made some neat finds along the way.

Great!

but 10% is a really low %.
and if you really had a Ryedale, $120 face Cu would only take a few hours.

Enjoy the hunt!

Thank you!
The problem is, I don't have a bank with a coin counting machine, so doing boxes of halves or massive pennies can be a problem.

Plus, what do all you ryedale people do? Wheel in 300 pounds of zincolns and feed them to the machine?

Fireseye, what is that in your picture? Is that like a person's jaw, a rock, or rotten lemon? I stared at it trying to figure it out.

10% in Copper pennies is very low. Typically, it's around 20%.

Lol, I think thats a rock, thought it was some rotten lemon to at first sight

Fireseye, what is that in your picture?

It's a metamorphic garnet mica quartz biotite gold bearing hard rock specimen from north Georgia.

 

[FiresEye]

the white stuff is the quartz surrounding the contact zone of the geothermal vein... it's typical of gold bearing heavy sulfide ores of the area.

I think thats a rock,

Yeah it's a rock, but the shape and structure does look interesting though, even from a far.

Found two more wheaties today, and around 15% copper on 14 rolls.
