Another 18th century coin ! Also rings #127- #129 , some silver too

[pl8man]

Got out this weekend for two hunts for about 5 hours . Yesterday was the better of the hunts . Hunted an older area of San Jose with eagleforce ( Ryan ) and did pretty good . I found three rings , one being 925 silver with a blue stone . This brings my ring total for the year to #129 . I also found a sterling ear ring . The best finds were a 1939 plain mercury dime at 5 inches . It was a clean +81 vdi in a dirt area . Then about 10 minutes later in the same dirt area I found a 1944 wheat cent at 4 inches .The other wheat in the picture I got in change today , a 1945D. Ryan also found two wheats in the same area . After about two hours we were ready to leave . I thought I would dig one more target and I'm glad I did . It was a +45 at 6-7 inches . As I dug out the dirt out popped a coin . It turned out to be an old Chinese cash coin , my 2nd this year . It dates from 1796 - 1820 , Emperor Jen Tsung . Not as special as the Reale I found last weekend but I'll take it ! Total clad for both hunts is $15.96 .

Incredible. Man, that place has some history. You guys are going to hit some gold coin or nugget one day too. Just awesome. Love the jewelry. Have you ever looked at old aerials here? NETR Online ? Historic Aerials Anyway, love to hear about some history there but then again, you don't want to say too much!

Wow, nice digs. I see your in Ca, which means that a Chinese miner most likely dropped the coin in the 1850's.

The Reale last week was found in another city miles away from this location . Both places have history . Yesterday's hunt is near some 1800's houses .

The area we were in dates back to the 1800's .

I'm always amazed at all the rings you find.. I'm guessing you hunt a lot of parks, do you find a lot of silver coins along with your rings? I'm not a park guy myself I like the old homesites, but I know parks are very productive for a lot of people
