I cheated a little I got a sorting machine. works pretty good.

35500 pennies is only around 250lb. But I will have a ton saved up before long.

Took most of the afternoon/evening to do them. To start with I had to learn how to use the machine and how well it worked learning curve was easy.

Cool!!!
Is that machine made just to sort out copper?
Do you manually go thru the copper to find the wheats?
and- where do you get one of those babies?
