Wheats in my change, but none in the ground.

I've been having some good luck with wheats near down town squares. Look up Sanborn Insurance maps of your areas. Most old court house squares had a drain run-off into a creak. Look in the area's right below where the sewer pipes dump into the creek.

Hey, whatever way you can get the old coins is a go.
Thanks for the tip on the Sanborn maps.. Although I see that the few sites I hit on require a password of some sort. I'll have to dig a little further.
FYI, 2008 is the last year of the Memorial penny.
2009 Lincolns will have 4 reverse designs depicting the life of Abraham Lincoln. Starting in 2010, a new design will be implemented.

Found the info:
The original Lincoln cent was issued in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The 2005 Presidential $1 Coin Program chose 2009 as the date for the new cent to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth, and the 100th anniversary of the coin.
The act includes the following program specifications:
1. A redesign of the reverse of the Lincoln cent in 2009 to show four difference scenes from Abraham Lincoln's life.
2. The four scenes are:
* His birth & childhood in Kentucky
* His formative years in Indiana
* His Professional life in Illinois
* His Presidency in Washington, DC
3. Collectible versions of the cent coins with the same copper content as the penny minted in 1909
4. A new design for the reverse of the Lincoln cent in 2010 & beyond based on his preservation of the United States as a single and united country.
Number of Coin Variations
While not confirmed yet by the US Mint, there are very likely to be at least 12 versions of the 2009 Lincoln Cent:
* A circulation version of each of the 4 designs, with the "P" mint mark.
* A circulation version of each of the 4 designs, with the "D" mint mark.
* A collector's version, likely proof, of each of the 4 designs in the original copper. (unknown mint mark at this time)
There is some conjecture that there might actually be as many as 20 versions, if the US Mint produces "P" and "D" uncirculated versions of the copper coins, and yet another version for proof sets.
If you have more information about additional versions that are likely to appear, please let me know and I will update this guide.
Updates
The US Mint has not yet revealed initial designs for the new Lincoln cent. I will continue to update this guide as information becomes available
