It has been about six months since I had done any hunting at all. I spontaneously decided to stop by a bank on Saturday and purchase a bag of pennies and a bag of nickels. I am very glad I did! I ended up finding more wheats in the cent bag than I have ever found from all my previous CRHing expeditions combined! All said and done I got 540 wheat pennies! That is 10.8% wheats. Nearly every handful had at least one wheat cent, some had about thirty. Unfortunately, they are mostly common 40s and 50s wheats, but that's the way it goes. I managed to fill two holes in my album and upgrade several others.
I did pretty well with the nickels too. I got five war nicks and one buffalo and I only average about one war nickel per bag.
I plan on hitting this bank hard in the next few days and buying up every bag I can get my grimy fingers on.
Here are the breakdowns:
