Do a forum search, this has been discussed MANY times over. The bottomline, there is no such thing, almost ALL wheats have been picked though at one time or another.....usually multiple times.

with BadThad on this one...That being said, I've had some really good luck buying 1000-count bags of wheats from my local dealer. I doubt anyone would have my kind of luck buying bags from e-bay, or through a magazine advert though.
My local dealer sells me 1000 count bags for $45 + tax. I realize that the bags I buy have been searched. I also realize that some of the "gems" I tend to find have probably been "salted" into the mixture and I accept this fact when I buy my bags.
I also realize that my local dealer can't possibly afford to employ someone to sort through thousands of wheats the same way that I sort through them.
They buy wheats from the public at $.02 per...and they sell them at $.045. They've doubled their profit without ever looking at them. Here in California, minimum wage is close to $10 per hour. The folks they hire to search through the wheats have been taught to look for the "key-dates". Separating the wheats from the chaff so-to-speak... I've learned that there is still some "worth" to some of the things found in the "chaff".
