Old Chinese Coin

[duststorm]

Went back to the lake where I found a couple large cents and a gold ring, hunted for 2 hrs in the freezing water and only had 1 good signal today, but I think it could be pretty old it seems to be made of brass, any ideas on the age?. I did some research but all I can come up with is 1700's which would be awesome but hard to believe.
