More Colonial digs with the Manticore! silver and an unknown coin for the group.

[SCUBACAPECOD]

Hit the woods for a few hours today its the last time for the season as the ticks are out and its diving season soon! This site is a c.1800 homestead that I test new machines at so this being the last hunt i cranked up the Manticore to the high 20's for sensitivity ,general high conductor and worked the area. Mixed in with all the hand cut nails (and I dug a few) this 1875 dime was under a large nail. After an hour of little this unknown coin comes to light it was down 5+ in. I cleaned it for a better pic and any information from the group is welcome! Good luck out there and happy hunting!

Great finds !
There's a few web sites you can use to date your Chinese Cash Coin - just do a Google search.

Take pictures in black and white from both sites, please, and send them to me or in this post.
I tried to scan the coin after one hour of research in my Chinese coin library, with no result.
I need better black and white photos to read the coin with help from artificial intelligence, so I can go from there.

Here are some B&W's hope they help. The back is blank as far as I can see without cleaning.

Thank you EKG! That fits well with the time frame of occupation for this site. The 1875 dime was located within a few feet of this coin. This website has the best people and you are one of them all the best!

Great finds neighbor! The more I see these results with the Manticore, the more I'm preparing my Nox's for the inevitable break up!

Hi Jeff Thank you for the comments and I enjoy you posts as well. Going from a MXT to the Manticore I'm not sure how much of a step up from the nox it is. I would like to see a side by side test of the nox with say the 15in. loop now that would be e test! What part of the cape are you at?

Nice find! The coin appears to be Japanese not Chinese. According to the article it was minted between 1626-1868 Here is the wikipedia about your coin. Happy Hunting!
