12 months of wasted pennies and a poor mans scoop

[TRIPLE-SSS]

Here are some pics of all the pennies that I couldn't clean up from the last year or so. The scoop I made for less than $5.00, works great in dry and wet sand up to about 10 inches. The scoop only lasts a few months, I replace the metal duct and keep the old handle and screen, bought parts at a Home Depot. More pics to follow.
HAPPY HUNTING

Since gov.org is responsible for debasing our money and making pennies out of trash metal, I suggest using the pennies to pay your taxes.

Why is it such a big deal what the penny is made of. So it doesn't hold up in the ground. I'm pretty confident that the Fed. did not have that on the top of their priority list when they decided what to use for the coin's composition. Take them to the bank and cash them in for bills, and then go buy silver coins if it is such a big deal to have a coin that will last forever. It already costs more than a penny to make a penny. Why use more expensive materials.

The reason for that is that those in charge planned it that way. The debasing of our currency is not an accident, it is intentional.

One hundred years ago a $20 gold piece could buy the finest Winchester rifle. Today it still can.

Our government is so bad that it cannot even maintain a zinc standard, let alone a gold standard.

On another note, in 20 years, metal detectorists will be thrilled to find a memorial penny.

I'm sure the government could easily make a $20.00 gold piece now.....I wonder how small/thin it would be?

Until it does, my statement remains true.

All I have to say is WOW. Also 100 years ago people were pooping in a pit pot and walking to school up hill both ways.

And what does that have to do with the price of cabbage in Lower Slabbovia?
