Chinese Coin in New England farm field

[DL273]

I found this coin this weekend while searching a farm field permission in Massachusetts. Did a little research but was wondering if anyone could help with the history of this coin. Thanks

Kang Hsi Chinese coin. 1661-1722 AD. Given that both of the mintmark characters on the obverse are in Manchu, this is probably a later one (early 1700's.) Nice dig!

I found one last year. I'm no good at dating them but congrats on an old find. Gotta be 1700s or earlier I'd guess.

I had found something very similar a few years back. I dug through my collection and found it. Looks damn near the same. I wasn't able to positively ID mine. I remember going on to a website that had pictures of too many variations that looked the same.

My dad found one forty years ago in Maryland, I found one last year. They seem to get around.
