Got out Saturday at the site of an old school which was open approx. 1910 - 1960s. The wife came with me on my "20 or 30 minute hunt." About my third signal I dug the military watch from 1977 - unfortunately there's dirt inside the crystal, but got my enthusiasm up - and maybe 15 minutes later, found the penny. I had a strong feeling it was an Indian although it was too dirty to see detail. My thirty-minute hunt ended up being 2 1/2 hours, good thing the wife brought a book! Doubt I'll ever have finds like you experienced guys but I think my trash pile from this hunt is right up there with some of yours 
My budget GP pinpointer which I've been pretty happy with did little or nothing on the IH though, had to find it in loose dug dirt with my Mojave. I need to air test it on this exact panny and see what's up with that. Penny cleaned up pretty well esp. since I've only cleaned a couple of wheats before this. It's a 1904.
