nice job, looks like you're doing good... garda pennies by any chance?
 

I usually average 1 or two wheats every other roll here in the Quad Cities. I think kids keep cashing in Grandpas Pennies.

I got 3 wheats from my first ever hunt a few weeks ago 20$ and then my first 25$ one was a huge 6 wheats then the other was only 2 wheats.

Garda is the carrier the people who provide coin/currency to the bank
 

garda pennies: wrapped by the service GARDA, like brinks, loomis, dunbar, etc.
 

ok then no there were brinks are garda better or something? also Im not sure how good this is as i have not been CRH for a long time, is this a pretty good batch?

11 for 2 boxes is a little low, normally I get 13-20 per box. and I don't pull copper, but if I did I think it might be about the same

found 4 more today out of 1250 pennies still have another 25 rolls to go though. so all in all i have 34 wheats now.
 

I know this doesn't really count but they are still coming in rolls and I'm hunting through them. There's a coin store I frequent on my lunch breaks. The first time I went in they had 8 wheat rolls for $2.50 each, not a bad price I've found them for $2 each, but the nice thing was each roll had at least one indian head per roll. I also pulled close to a full roll of steel pennies from the 8 rolls. I know steel pennies aren't worth much but these didn't have any rust.

MoneyBags can you post the dates? Or take a picture with the dates showing?

Don't get caught with those bagged up pennies and the scale, you will surely be charged with "intent to distribute" rather than mere "possession"

I get brinks boxes for pennies. They normally are packed with goodies

It is illegal to sell coins on Tnet if you aren't a charter member. Someone may think you are trying to sell by posting the pics of the weight. I assume that is what SFB meant.
