[diggingitrtb]

Out with hogge today and found all 15 coins in one hole!! need help identifying them; They seem to have some sort of Chinese (?) writings on them. Found at an old foundation hole maybe dating back to the early 1800's. Any help with identifying these , would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!

Cool find!!! Most of them are Chinese cash coins minted during the reign of Kao Tsung 1736-1795. Congrats! HH, Mike.

Mike, I just came home from "DiggiitRTB's" and you dated them correctly. We still have over 1/2 of them to figure out, but 5 of the 7 we did were dated to that period. 2 were from 1821-1850. Can you give us a clue as to value? Thanks Hogge

WISH IT COULDVE BEEN A
CACHE OF SILVER DOLLARS...

All I could see were as others have described them. And the reverses showed common mints. The 1800 coins aren't necessarily valuable. Depends on the
style of the Chinese characters, and the mint. The different styles will attribute them to certain dates. Still, nice cache of coins NOT FROM THE U.S. That is always interesting. (By the way, anyone reading this: has anyone mentioned locating a cache of foreign coins other than Chinese coins, like a cache of coins from Europe? If so, perhaps it was before I joined this site.)
