I have a 5' 1"x12" piece of pine with my pile count on it standing in front of pile marked with PL, COWW, SO, LIN, etc. with count. I affectionately call it my tally board and it is north of 3K. I am proud of my cleaned, melted, some mixed, ready to go glorious sorted and stacked piles of ingots and blocks. Many a safari and every trip not a guaranteed success but it was the hunt and all very enjoyable. Only above knows if I will need more, but I think I do!
