Large Tribe Found

Postby cuppoor » Sat Sep 08, 2012 6:52 pm

Went to run the first of two $50 bags Wednesday evening (while fake Indian was on TV)and right away started noticing the ring of copper in the zinc box. It was an IH and as I grabbed it two more hit my hand. After it was all said and done and the copper box was checked I had 24. All but one went to the zinc side. I've tried many times to set up the Ryedale to catch these with a zinc accept then copper accept approach but can never seem to dial it in and rely on luck in finding them. Copper was 35% and I also got around 30 wheats and 2 Kings. The second bag had nothing special.

Not that I can see, just dates from 1891 to 1909. It's kind of neat having 1909 in both IH and LMC now. I'm going back to that bank tomorrow with a box of donuts in hand to buy up all of their remaining bags of change to look for any stragglers and silver.
