    get an old pillow case or burlap bag, lay it down, and go too town on that puppy with your sledge hammer! It's fun and fast!
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Get the pillowcase full like Hypoman said. Cover with a piece of iron that'll cover the pillowcase. Drive over it. Pick out copper.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
