[QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1459500, member: 5650"]I look at it more like how much per hour could you make by picking out such varieties.

If it were mostly Mercs and Walkers, I'd sure look through it a bit and pull a few of the best out. There is little return in roll searching ( unless you get very lucky), similar with searching late junk silver. There really aren't many old hoards left anymore.
