I got permission to hunt the parkway in front of a house built in 1908 and the house next door was built a bit latter. I got nothing except a sprinkler head, nail, and some other junk, not even one modern coin.... 
I was just about finished when I see an old lady walking towards me from across the street, she asks me if I am from the city and I reply no, she says gas company and I say no, just looking for old coins, I was sure she was going to ask me to leave or something, instead she tells me how the local kids play in the gravel in the parkway and throw them around, I told her I would leave, she says she doesnt care about me being there. We got to talking about what I am doing and she tells me how she remembers a train, in the early 1900s that used to travel between her house and the park nearby and she described were it was and how I could find the old path. So I walked to the park and the old train path was obvious so I detected there for about an hour and only found one modern penny.
I plan on going back another time cuz theres more to the tracks than I could detect.
I am pretty disappointed , I thought for sure I would get at least some wheaties.......
I think I may have to resort to more bolder moves, like hunting old historical landmarks in the middle of the night, Just kidding.........
