I was going to ask if you could identify the seal as to age and reign. If you are lucky enough to find anything else like this, please give us the history. China is such a large and ancient land we know little about your country. Also, information like the province you are detecting in would be interesting. I hope you don't get into any trouble metal detecting your ancient sites.
Good Luck!

Can you tell us what the writing on the seal says? Was it for rice, cotton or maybe a chest of gold?
