Recent Finds- my 1st Chinese coin, 1951 dog license, skeleton key barrette,..

Here's my recent finds, found my first Chinese coin, a 37 buff (the back is toast), a few wheats 1926-28-41-44-55, 2 Shell coins, zodiac “Leo” token (I thought I had a copper), tiny AAA patrol service pin, a skeleton key hair barrette, 2 dog licenses, a piece of a round brass plaque with the Liberty Bell (?), a PICO Co. bottle from Warren, PA (?), old spoon and fork that says “The Manor” on back and some other stuff.

The police pin is a memorial pin for a police officer kill in the line of duty in 2005 from Newtown, PA. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

I was hoping to have some nice silver in the pic but that didn't happen, so I figured I'd post what I been finding lately to get the “silver slump monkey” off my back, Thanks for looking!

Thank you for the replies and the Chinese coin link ! I thought the skeleton hair barrette is pretty cool too and think it is made of brass. The Chinese coin is a little rough, so I’m afraid to wash it and lose any detail that’s left on it (found on a river bank). I tried taking some close up pics of it. Thanks again.

I think the Chinese coin is 1821-61, and I can't make out the mint mark. But, in the shape it's in, it doesn't matter.......
no value. But, a nice find.
Anyone reading this, and you have found a Chinese coin, and need help i.d.ing it, give me an email with a nice pic of the front
and back and I will be glad to tell you what you have. I detect in S. Korea, and find Chinese coins on a regular basis.
Don't be fooled. Most of the holed coins are not worth much. But, there are die varieties, just like in the U.S., and some are
very very nice, money-wise.
Hopefully will be able to help a few of you. hikeinmts
