yesterdays finds

[sonny60]

Yesterday my partner Cliff Flynn and I searched an 1800's home I found last week. Monday I found a spanish 1 reale1785 and an indian head penny1903 (see Whites forum above). This time I found a broken spur and my only chinese coin. They have enough of our money, it's about time we got some back. The coin is from the Emporer Hsuan Tsung era 1821-1850. One side says Boo Yowan (Board of Works) mint. On the other side the Manchu name translates to Pao-Yuan or "The source of all currency". worth maybe $2. more than that to me.

Cool that you know where your chinese coin says. I have a bunch from an gold rush china town and dont have a clue what they say.
