I didn't expect this today after receiving 5 inches of snow yesterday morning. Drove thru town today and seen that they began clearing a cleared lot to start building a new Subway store. The section they bull dozed uesed to have a victorian era home on it that when the old house came down years ago I metal detected the front sidwalk area and got a few wheaties and a old cinese coin.
Today I did it again while scanning all the dirt the moved around. Problem is there used to be a old service garage next to it and there's lots of metal junk all over. I managed near the same spot from a few years back two more wheaties ('53 and '57) plus two more of those old chinese coins that no one can identify
.
Also a small flat button that reads: ORANGE GILT COLOUR. There's also a bit of what seems to be a letter and a number below the work "orange", letter "A" and number "13" but can't really tell. Can you?
UPDATE INFO: With al ittle bit of google search I've come up with the being Emperor HSUAN TSUNG 1821-1850, Reign title: TAO-KUANG, minted in Peking. The 2nd one is Emperor TE TSUNG 1875-1908, Reign title: KUANG-HSU,, also minted in Peking. Pretty cool!
