Found 2 steels yesterday. No IH's yet. Been only sorting for a couple months and only got my Ryedale a couple weeks ago. Really bad of keeping track....LOL! But, have been able to hoard $325 in copper. I actually found that you can put 2500 pennies back into the box if you shake it up and down and side to side. I then just tape the box shut and presto. No coin rolling required and I know I have 2500 copper pennies in a $25 penny fed box.....
If I shake it up and down and side to side I have pennies flying everywhere! But I suppose if I shake it hard enough I should be able to get the lid closed.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

Hey HoardCopperByTheTon, You crack me up at least once everytime I come to thsi forum. It is a real treat to be able to be on this site with people like you. It is a great release from the stresses of the work life. Seriously though, I don't have to shake it all that much to be able to get the lide closed. I shake it alittle when the box is about half full, 3/4 full and then 2500 pennies full and can close the box and tape it with no problems. Sure beats having to roll the peenies back up to put them back in the box. At least I know I have 2500 pennies in each box. I am quite proud. I have a little hoard going. I have 14 boxes as of tonight neatly stacked. Might have to move the hoard down stairs. Don't ned the floor to cave in... Again, love to read all your comments and thx for sharing with all of us. Andy
Andy, My mission here is to provide mirth for my fellow hoarders. I just like to have fun. You can't take life too seriously.. you'll never get out of it alive. There are lots of fun folks on this site and I really enjoy coming here. I guess I am spoiled with the rolling machines and counters. I will have to take some pictures of my custom wrapped copper rolls and post them. Now if I could just master squeezing those pics though that cable from the digital camera to the computer.. LOL.
What does your wife say about all those neatly stacked boxes of copper?
