Poll Question:
When did you get serious about hoarding and set yourself some really big goals?

| I should have started sooner like back in the 70's but I didn't. I still have a nice amount put away for little over 5 years. |

I've been doing silver and gold since 2003 and got bored with it (and besides, it's getting pricey). Copper is fun for me, I'm gonna try for a $5,000 hoard and then double my target once I reach it if finances permit. Just have to figure out where to keep it.  |
Hoard now and hold on!

| I pulled coppers from pocket change for about 4 years. I did not get 'serious' (buying boxes to sort) until last year. |

| My Dad used to pull IHP's when he was little...so I pulled the wheats when I was little through his change.... then I pulled copper pennies out of my change after the mint switched metals. But now for about 2 months I actually go to the bank to get boxes to pull Cu pennies. |

| Really big? My copper haul is still less than $300 so I am still just a beginner. |

| Hey, $300 is quite a bit (okay, other people in here have bigger bragging rights) but the general public? I'll bet you have more CU saved than 99.9999999% of the world population. That list would be over six billion long, and you must be in the top one thousand. And the question referred to setting a big goal, not how far along you are so far. |
Hoard now and hold on!

I haven't gotten serious about hoarding yet.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| I started hand sorting in March 2008. Then I got serious and bought a ryedale in June 2009. I joined the forum several weeks ago, but this is my first post. Enjoy reading all the comments on the site. |

| What scares me is he wants to add another Ryedale to his penny processing facility? Wow, way ahead of the curve on this one, HCBTT! |
