DFX finds - Coin / Button / Token

[TXDIRTFISHER]

My day started at 0900 with two friends in a huge field. The weather was great and it was a good day for detecting. Of all the items I found today these were the best. I have no clue how the Chinese coin found it's way to TX....but it did. I knew what it was when I pulled it out of the ground. Any idea how to place a date on them?

The eagle cuff button is one of four that have been found recently. This was the first one that came from the cuff. The token is good for 10 cents at a pharmacy that probably doesn't exist anymore in the next town.

Thanks for looking.

There were lots of Chinese immigrants in the Old West. Laundering and building railways.

You should try and date it, I bet it's from the cowboy days.

Nice finds. You can try to find the age of the Chinese coin here.

I found I had one that was minted 1736-1795. I have one I haven't been able to identify but since it's one sided is supposed to be a lot older.
