18th century coin dug in Saskatchewan

I found my second old Chinese coin today, looks like emperor Kao Tsung 1736-1795, Ch'ien Lung dynasty. It wasn't far from the railroad tracks and an old hotel site, so I figure a Chinese worker may have dropped it.

Oops, please disregard the pic of the Sheng Tsu coin, not sure how I mixed that up. Here is the right pic...

Seems the old mining camps and railroads always give up some old Chinese relics. All I ever get from the rr's here are jack plates and spikes! Nice find!

Nice coin. That is what really propelled me into this hobby. Found my first Chinese coin here on my land about two years ago, bought a detector and have 60 from a Chinese railroad labor camp. Congrats!
