CRH Equipment

[Motor_scootah_boi]

Hello , ... I'm pretty new with this and I'm wondering if you folks could share some ideas relative to your Coin Roll Hunting Equipment ...? I'm searching 8 boxes of halves a week ( 2 a day ) and attached is a photo of my gear ... A collapsible hand-truck and a small heavy~duty tool bag ... I know, I'll look like a plumber ... but, at least I won't be moving with boxes clearly marked "$500 Dollars" ! I'd be grateful to learn of any helpful hints in regard to this subject ...



Thanks !

That hand truck is and excellent idea. Maybe get something to help open rolls with. Im not sure what your plan is. To use coin machine or dump the rolls at banks. So if you want to save the rolls get some utility knife and scotch tape. Also, if you'd like you can think about something to do about the dirty coins and how to keep your hands cleaner.

Oh yea, ... I use GoJo Natural Orange Pumice Hand Cleaner for my hands ( more plumber stuff ) ... I don't worry about saving the paper rolls ... I am blessed with many coins counting machines in my area ...

Hey Motor , Welcome aboard ! I have found a few plastic 1 gallon sized paint buckets to be
very handy in the search phase -throw the rejects into the buckets - and in the dump phase
dump the bucket into a coin counter . The buckets were purchased at Sherwin Williams - a
regional or maybe national supplier of paint and equipment . Get buckets with tight fitting
lids for transport . Happy Hunting ! Argentium.

Man yall sure are taking it easy. I just carry 4 boxes at a time. Maybe I'll learn my lesson when I drop one.

I did that last Wednesday. I was carrying 4 boxes up my back stairs and lost the top box. Saved me time on opening up the rolls

Wow 4 boxes!!! Thats 100 ponds. How do you guys manage? 3boxes is my absolute limit and that can hurt my back. I typically place 2 in my packpack and carry one in my arms. I cant recall seeing tellers carry more then 3. Are you popeye?

Im young and dumb. Rich loves showing off his "guns" as you can see he is flexing in his pic.

i recommend one like this, especially if you dump in bags.

they have similar ones at harbor freight for about 30 bucks, and it will fold down flat in your trunk.

a coin counter like a cs-10 is also a big help.

How well does your scooter handle all those halves

Just messin' with ya. My CRH equipment consists of my arms, which are used for holding my boxes and my legs, which transport my body out to my car. I don't pick up more than two boxes of anything at a time so I don't need any heavy duty equipment.

I usually carry either two bags or 1k each or 4 boxes at a time. Makes for a good workout. Although I don't have the same physical prowless of Rich Hartford I can hold my own juggleing bags/boxes and keys to unlock the trunk of my car.

UPDATE: ... I find myself these days using my plumber bag more than the hand truck ... When I pick up boxes from the bank, I pay for two and carry then each one, individually out to the car, putting them into the trunk, ... one into my plumber bag ... When I reach my community, I carry one box at a time in the bag into my home, so that the nosy neighbors can't see my business ...

Poppa's Gotta Brand New Bag .... ! I mean my new plumber bag ... The way I see it is; as the economy worsens , and unemployment rises , prying eyes mean trouble for those of us moving with large sums of cash ... This is more about security than it ever was about ease of movement, or who is strong enough to carry this or that many boxes, for exercise or whatever ... Face it, ... If thieves knock you off while transporting 4 boxes, if they don't kill you outright , or hurt you real bad , ...you'll have one a hell of a time getting your balance sheet into the black again ... Safety First is what I am saying ...
