Hunted an old farm house tonite and got a penny trifecta with 1851 large cent, 1904 Indian and 1919 wheat. Couple buffalo nickels with dates, a flat button and a neat old Chicago zoo pendant.

"A site like that" could also translate into "something I try to avoid". It's not because they don't give up nice finds for some, but I've had very measured success. Around here, the farmers from the late 1800s were poor immigrant French families who came here because the had no "potpourri", which loosely translated in IDX-speak means "no pot to piss in". Hell, they were lucky to find a nice tree to piss on. But further East with more established history, that's a different story. It takes much time and patience to root through a farm site and come away feeling good about it. I've only hunted 3 farms, but very heavily. While I have gotten 8-10 nicer coins between all 3, I'm just fortunate enough to have better producing places. The guys who can make farms "work" get my props, but it's not MY thing.

Oh I dug a memorial but I would never count that. One time I had a flying eagle, large cent, indian and wheat, that was my one and only cent grand slam

I live in a heavy farm area of the midwest and if you want old finds you just hunt farms! they are the oldest properties in my area
