    Check your change.

    You likely have a coin or two from the 80's or even 70's sitting wherever you throw change in your car. Coins were more in use in the past so it's not surprising to find coins 20,30,40+ years older than the house.

    And depending on where you are, an 1880's house could have been built on much older farm land, it's not uncommon.

    Sometimes newer stuff is not bad...I found a 1920 gold class ring at a 1700's site.
