Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 11:53 pm Well if TMK65's finding 2 in 100 boxes is any sort of barometer then that means you're not even half-way there to finding one yet. Report this Post to the Staff

hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 11/14/2015 6:37 pm I have found 7 in 11 years of pretty intense searching.Stastics really mean nothing,it is the luck of the draw. Keep searching,you will eventually find one. I used to get 15-20 wheats in a box,now I rarely get 5 a box. Report this Post to the Staff
