Ca Gold Rush sight gives up 18th century coin

Hi All 18th century coin, not 16th.

Today I made it back to the spot I found the 1811 5 francs last week. It was a good few hrs. I ended up with a 1736 to 1795 Chinese coin. So two old old coins from this sight!!:hello2: Now all I need to find are the old American coins there :)

I also ended up finding a old Silver plated spoon that dates back potentially as early as 1840, It reads "Rogers nickel silver"... Also as a piece of a spoon but is pewter so I know that one is more than likely old :icon_thumleft:

Looks like I found half of a brass or copper thing that looks like it could half of a tounge buckle or something. 44 wcf shell that dates a little later. and either a old button or a bridle rosette.

This place will give up lots of hunting as soon as the grass is down. Can't wait to get back there..:hello2:

Those old Chinese coins are really cool, good job!
 

Hi Jackalope; Only one correction ok. You need to change the TITLE to 18th Century not 16th Century ok. Great finds. PEACE:RONB

Those are nice. My dad found one 40 years ago. It's lying round here somewhere close by. Good job.
 

You dirty ********! I was hooked at 16th Century. It's all good and congrats.
 

I feel like a dumb ass now, I edited it but it doesn't show on the forum..hahahaha
