FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY reached a HUGE Goal!!!

[Shake-N-Bake]

Hello All,
After just 11 months of searching a HUGE amounts of pennies, about 3.9 million to be excact I reached my goal of 20,000 WHEATS!!!

I first set a goal this year of 10,000 wheats and hit that mark in late May. I then upped the goal to 20,000 (with a little presure from some guys on here!).

As of today November 15, 2009 I hit 22,368 wheat pennies, 25 Indian Heads, and 2 Flying Eagles.

I am now going to relax on the pennies and do about 20 boxes a week of them, But am going to hit about 30 boxes of Dimes a week.

I am thankful for the support of everyone on this board and having a bunch of great fellow hunters to chat with.

Happy Hunting,
Jason

I used to post weekly results with pics but just ran out of time to do that with the quantity I have been searching. I will try to update weekly now with some good pics of the finds.

I am also going to put together a pile of wheats to shaw soem pics of what 20,000 wheats look like.

Happy Hunting,

Awesome job on 20,000 wheats. Could you post pictures of your indians and flying eagles too?

1909S VDB (of coarse)

1914S (not really sure why not this one)

I just found a 1911S last week or so that has eluded me for a while also.

I have found 2 1931S's, which I thought to be awesome.

Another great accomplishment was filling a roll of 1909 VDB's (atleast in my mind)

Yes I will post pics of the Indian Heads and flying Eagles. If you search back on my previous posts you will find the Flying Eagle post. Two Flying Eagles in the same box. WOW, that was a fun day that will be hard to top.

Thanks for the comments,
Jason

Big Time Congrats to you, Shake!!!
I bet you hit 25,000 by 12/31!

I hope for your sake you have a Ryedale...lol

I would hate to have to go through that many pennies by hand. At least with the Ryedale youd just have to sort the coppers after youd culled 80% of the total number of pennies...

Congrats...

That is huge shake...I am glad you took me up on the challenge and met the goal. Unbelievable feet. Now Lets set the mark to 300 dimes by new years. Can you do it is the question. I bet you can and then some. Good luck

Congrats Shake-N-Bake, That is some seriously hardwork Ryedale or not!!!

 

[Coins4Cheese]

WOW WOW WOW!!! I'm speechless... 25 Indians! Btw, not to sound rude or anything, but do you have a job/wife/kids? Just wondering, because I can't imagine a person with a job to have that much time on their hands; sorry if I sound rude.

CC- I think he was badly injured and does this now to fill his time. Regardless that it is an amaizing fete that is to be commended.
