Swingin' in the rain

Another detectin' day perforated by a deluge. That's what I like about the ATPro. It keeps going in the rain. I, however, tend to give up once I start treading water.



One of those Chinese coins. Couldn't garner a guess on age, but it looks like it's been around a while as it is worn quite thin.



Today's dredges...

Chinese coin
(2) Wheatbacks 1944, 1944
A whizzer toy? This piece is quite heavy as it is made of lead. If it were a button, I think it would defeat the purpose.

Must have been worn on a chain of something, as it wouldn't make any sense to hole it to sew it in their clothing would it?

I found one a week ago just about like that Congrats !

That is kind of weird for some one to put a hole in an already holed coin. Nice finds!
Curtain or hem weight maybe.

LOOK [SEATED] IT IS SINGING IN THE RAIN WHILE YOU SWING IN THE RAIN BUT THAT IS , DETERMINATION , DEDICATION , FASCINATION , APPRECIATION AND LAST BUT LEAST RELAXATION.. THE CHINESE COINS ARE NEAT. THATS ANOTHER ITEM ON THE OLE KICK THE BUCKET LIST FOR ME. IS THAT A LEAD CLOTHES BUTTON ? THINK I AM HOOKED ON THE SHUN PART.

Why, how Gene Kelly of you!

Another reason I like my ATP. As long as I don't melt, it won't either. LOL

Interesting finds!

Well done...
Peace ✌

It can be a lot of work to positively ID an old Chinese coin, but it's fun. I found one a few years ago dating as far back as 1662! Here is a link that might help: http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china8.htm

Nice day of playing in the rain

It's the Shih Tsung variety from 1722-1735. You can tell by matching the bottom character. I found a slightly newer one that was made into a fishing weight once. Nice find!
