18?? Chinese coin and indian.

[John Deere Digger]

Hav'nt found too much to post lately, thought this chinese coin might do the trick. First one I have ever found. After a little research it dates from 1822 to 1850 Hsuan Tsung Emperor. Found it in the same hole as a 30 cal. round ball, sure glad I rechecked that hole. Added the 1901 indian and the wheats yesterday. Thanks for looking

Nice finds!Those chinese coins are fairly common out here in the west.I detect gold rush camps and dig quite a few and love them!!Oddly enough your type is one of the rarer types!Most date to the 1600's!!

Thanks for the replies everyone. That's what I am wondering, how did this thing get in a field in Southern Illinois.

WTG JDD,Glad you go to hunt !!! Congrats on the Chinese coin.I read once that they build RR bridges all across the US and camped right where they worked.

VERY cooooool, WTG . keep them coming .

 

[waseeker]

Nice Job JDD. I think T-Bucket is correct. There were Chinese work gangs that built lots of railroads all over the US.

 

[John Deere Digger]

Thanks Guys. You are probably right, that field is near a RR track.

The new Chinese coins do not have the hole in them and they are extremely light...perhaps aluminum....jiao
