Whats up with all the oriental's showing up!!!!!!!!!!

Found this one next to an old stone wall near the cemetery where i work at. had about a half hour
to hunt . it showed up as a bottle cap, but dug it anyway. then i saw the square in the center!
Time was running out so i stuck it in my pocket and went to work! DANG! i wanted to hunt more!
This coin is in rough shape as you can see but it was fun to dig it and made my DAY!
Thanks for looking

WOW Looks like it's been run over a few times.

there are tons of them all over

I'm starting to think we were actually China in the 19th. Century.
and the History book are wrong.

Either that or they are Sinking straight through the Earth from China
ever hear the Phrase digging all the way to China ?
Maybe the Chinese dig all the way to the U.S. :P

Actually There were alot of Chinese Miners & Rail Road workers

I think there is enough there to get us close... I don't see enough on the reverse pic for a mint mark, but, I'm sure you have a Ch'ien Lung coin - 1736 to 1795.  Very cool.

I made this pic for you to check out... See the red circles for the KEY to IDing this coin... the Ch'ien symbol is ONLY on this coin.
