<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 146038, member: 4692"]I think the reason I do this so much is because it's like fishing - without having to get the boat ready or pay for any licenses or really even driving out to the lake!! LOL ... Every now and then a lunker comes in! hehehe - If you're going to find good coins in this fashion you are going to pay your dues. I bet I have a couple hundred hours in on searching - and yes, even at minimum wage, I could have earned $500 or so and just bought the coins I've found much more easily and actually had a choice in choosing what I buy instead of taking what is found. Not to mention the stress of bringing all those coins back to the banks - trust me bank tellers HATE it - but if you have an account - they can't do anything about it as long as you don't go overboard, which I don't... but it requires a LOT of effort. I guess I don't mind sitting on a Saturday Night - while my wife watches TV and just sorting the coins. I do it because I enjoy it - when I strike gold - that's all the much better! I can't tell you how many $50 bags I've gone through where I get like 3 measely common wheats! You WILL find the coins if you stay persistent enough - but it will take effort, patience and love for the hobby to do it. Having great eyesight is also a tremendous boost to making this go! How I see some of those error coins is beyond me!</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
