XP Deus Beeps on a Foreign Coin

[Loco-Digger]

Happy Independence Day Everyone!!!

I went to another permission I pounded over the past year and ran the Deus there. Pulled a piece of a crotal bell, part of a watch, a bale seal , 2 wheats (52D & 53) along with 5 other cents and a foreign coin. I am not to great at pin pointing yet and as I believe the Deus was locked onto a small nail. When I cut the plug and pulled the nail, I hit the hole again with the Carrot and found two pieces of the foreign coin I just cut with my shovel. I hope someone can help me ID the coin and that it's not rare

I also had a heart stopper moment during the hunt. I pulled a very thin piece that all I could see was it's side and it looked silver. Oh yea Baby I was hoping for another 1/2 Real, but alas it was just the washer in the pic.

I then proceeded to another farm permission that has not given up any old coins yet. Today was no exception, only dug 3 cents but scored another permission for an old house up in Lorain. They were leaving for a picnnc and told me I could stay, but I decided to do some clad hunting at a school in Olmsted Falls.

Nice hunt LD. To bad about that coin. Like Forest said: "It happens". We've all done it.
I've got the other half of that bell. Found about a year ago. Only one I have. I watched it rain all day so I've been hunting t-net. Thanks for sharing and happy 4th to you and yours.[emoji106]

Thanks RN, I only hope it's not a valuable coin, odds are it's not. Maybe you should get your detector out and see if you can find another beer in the fridge. Hope you and you's the best.

Thanks Dave, everyday is a great day, it's just that some are greater than others. You had a GREAT day detecting buddy.

Looks like you got a Chinese coin there. Doubt its worth anything but still a nice addition to the collection. I found one myself last year

Thanks toasted, I am hoping someone can ID it for me though so I know what to write on the coin flip after I glue it together and put it in my collection.

That's some good finds to add to your collection I have stabbed 1 silver coin and one ring its gonna happen. I admire how you get so many permissions I don't know why but Ive never done that yet though I know it would be a great idea. My last 10 hunts just clad sunglasses cell phone boy scout badges I'm going to the Pinkney rec area tomorrow try some beach hunting Great job loco I always like your replies to people so many good people on this site makes it fun to read . Hopefully Ill post that good find tomorrow!!!!!! I did find a coin that was really thick I was hoping it was a rare coin dropped by Paul Revere or something (I always have high hopes) turns out it was a 1983 England pound coin I liked it!!!

Congrats Loco. I didnt know you went out and bought a XP Deus. Guess ive been out of the loop.

Nice hunts. Really liking the Bale Seal and Crotal Bell.
Oh, and ive dug one of those WW2 era Air force bombers buttons you found. Neat button.!

Loco, as somebody mentioned, that looks to be a Chinese coin. Here is a good website that can help you narrow down what date range yours was made. (They don't have the year on them like most coins.) I found one last year that was made in the late 1700's. Wasn't worth anything but still cool to find.

coins of china, the Ch'ing Dynasty

ETA, I'll take a look also and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks A2, permissions get easier the more you do it. Go ahead, stick your neck out when you see someone outside a property you've drooled over. What's the worse that can happen You get a no. No harm no foul, you will be amazed at how many people say yes.

Thanks for the button ID PBR, I am still in the Fisher camp. I saw an ad on craigslist, someone wanted a boat and trailer for a lightly used XP Deus. I have had my boat sitting in the driveway for 6 years, that I got for a steel about 8 years ago. So I bartered the boat and accessories for the Deus.



We both walked away thinking we got the better end of the deal.

I started the day with the Deus and went back to the F75.

Scroll about a third of the way down, S-1437. Looks like a match to me.

Thanks Blade, it looks like a :CHE (Chekiang mint) and is now my oldest coin. these were made (AD? - 1661) so I guess as a default, I made it into the 1600's club.

Nice finds. And, yes, we've all done it! Taco-ing coins is my specialty.

Thanks for looking into it Dave, but I believe it is a S-1408.

 

[BladeRunner2019]

I could be wrong, but I think your Chinese coin is from the Emperor SHENG TSU era AD 1662-1722.

Do a search for: "CHE" (Chekiang mint). See if that matches your coin.

Edited: Oops, Dave beat me to it.

Ill try to look into which dynasty its from. Some close ups would help though. Not worth too much but is probably pretty old.

click on the pic and it gets bigger, then click on it one more time and it get's real big and you can even make it bigger one more time.

Chinese cash coins are no specialty of mine, so I wouldn't be shocked if I was wrong, but S-1408 has a different obverse.

I think we narrowed it down to the S-1408 & the S-1437, only problem is they look the same.
