Sorry for not posting in a long time. I have been searching pennies every week and found the usual wheats but was too lazy or just busy to post my finds. I got 2 boxes last week and here are the results:
Canada...
1998 1993 1992 1989 1981 1977 1969 1968 1956 1955
USA...
1958 D 1957 D 1956 D 1955 1955 D 1953 D x3 1950 D 1949 1948 D 1947 D 1945 1945 D x2 1944 D 1941 1940 1939 1939 D 1911 1910
And my third Indian head from a roll... 1906

I just grabbed a box from my bank today and wasn't happy to see they were all brand new shields. They are 2015. What do you guys do when you get a brand new box? I usually keep a new box a year but I already have a '15 and '16 put away.

@yanks Congrats on the 09 VDB! That deserves some dancing fruit   Btw, going through a second box of pennies since I got into roll hunting again last week. Nor even halfway through the box, already got 22 wheats and 1 Canadian

@ Rackster: It did keep up the pace! 77 wheats!!    Notably: 1935x2 1930 1918-D 1918 1917-D 1913 1911 1910 (Tied for oldest penny find)  Red 1957-D I've got a few of these and this one has some tiny black spots on it but I don't wanna throw a wheat which still has its luster in with the rest of them 4 Canadians: 1996 1995 1964 1943 (George VI YAY) This has been by far the best box I've ever done

Nice box, CrazyCat... I'm happy with 1 wheat for every 250 coins... you got 1 every 32 or so!
