Found an 1848 large cent and several other newer coins at a property that according to the history I found was purchased in 1850 and the original owner farmed it until 1876. It was originally over 300 acres but now the original house is on a couple of acres and the remaining property is subdivision. Saw the owner out tending his yard and I pulled in and asked if I could detect there. He said sure along with asking if I would help him pick up sticks so he could mow. I posted more of the finds and more of the story on the stories of finds section of this forum.
