Awesome Night On the Rydale

[kalebdad]

Got a call from my bank manager who saves me all his penny bags. He said a guy just dumped a ton of change from his mothers estate and filled a whole bag of pennies. I Bought the bag of along with another he had. As many of you know my penny bags are loaded with anywhere from 15 to 50 Dimes. Tonight was different. One bag had over 70 dimes and a .................... 1958 Rosie. who would have thought Silver while copper sorting. It gets better but was also scary. I always have to finger through the zinc box to look for dimes and search for wheats in the copper side later. Well it just so happens I see a wheat in the zinc box . I pick it up............ 1909 VDB. I could not believe it. My first one in the wild and I almost sent it back in the dump bag. At this rate my total dimes for the year while penny searching should pay for my Ryedale . Yes I have made the manager aware and he has had the machine fixed but I just keep finding them.....

I have sorted over $10,000 in face value since January with my ryedale and have not even hit a 1909 let alone a 1909 VDB. Congrats. I have hit (6)Indian Heads though.

Nice find. How many wheats in total? Any other early dates?

A question for you. << I always have to finger through the zinc box to look for dimes>> Why?

I leave the dimes in there. After all, those reject bins get thrown into the coin counter just like my rejected halves, dimes and quarters anyway. So the dimes you pull out will either get spent by you or put back into a counter for a dime anyway. No need searching for them.

I just leave them in there and smile about the 9 cents profit on it. I figure about 20 dimes a night, or ... enough to pay for the electricitythat the Ryedale uses. LOL.

Besides - you need to be looking for something ELSE in the reject bin while running the Ryedale. Older wheats! Yes, that 1909 ws not a fluke being over in the reject side. MOST of them will be there! Most copper pre 1943 (the stell year) is a little off on its composition, and gets rejected. I find MOST of my wheats from the 30s and back on the reject side. My Indian heads too. (remember, it is not the zinc side, but the reject side. That makes a difference, and explains why the dimes would be there.)

Keep pumping. It's a GREAT machine. :-)

keep at it, makes me want to get a ryedale and search some pennies.

I like pulling the dimes. I keep them in a jar so I can keep track of the payment. My goal is to carry the exact amount of dimes to cover the ryedale cost to my dump bank in december. LOL

That's a good goal. That makes it worth it to pull the dimes. :-)

Still keep an eye open for the older wheats though. You don't want to miss those.

I did a box once and I got a 1909 VDB too. Really neat find. Keep up the good work.
