Great stuff as always GMan. Love that oddball stuff that ends up in bags. How many dateless wheaties you figure you've found? A roll's worth?

Gman, you're penchant for detail never fails to amaze me ! ..........and you seemed to be numismatically rewarded for your efforts !

Welcome back and continued good luck.

I've only been able to talk one place into selling me their partially full bag, and haven't really put a lot of effort into buying full ones (lazy, and gman probably has that on lockdown in this area anyways ). They do seem to have quite a few more surprises than the machine rolled coins though that partial bag was 190 in halves that had 2 toonies, a bolt, some baseball batting cage token, and a 10 peso coin.

I never really left. I have been perusing most of the other posts just not posting much myself as I have been way behind on searching due to a lot of other demands on my time so when I have had time to do stuff I have focused on just searching the bags I have already picked up and just do random catch up period posts (minimum once a month). Work has been ultra busy where I sometimes end up putting in 18 hour days a couple days a week and don't get home until 4 or 5 AM which doesn't leave much time on those days. And then with having my kids on half my nights and a social life keeping me busy on days without kids (well when I am not working at least) its amazing I have time to search at all.

Just this past weekend, I had to power through $450 in pennies just to finish April.

Already 10 bags stacked up from May and tomorrow is my main pickup day. I was so busy today I completely forgot about one of my regular weekly pickups. Oops..

A little less than that. If my spreadsheets are correct I have 36 in the past 2.5 years. Seems high to me, but 25 of those were from 2007 and I guess I can't remember every penny for that far back so I'll assume its correct.

Although not well arranged....here are a few pics of stuff I have picked up this year...
Top 3 are all from 2009 searches
next pic is some of my 2008 stuff (though can't see much)
next two are some older stuff that was pulled out of circulation.

Note: These are just the ones that have yet to be officially logged and entered in my collection.....
