Hello all,

Finally put on the 11” coil on the E-Trac and went to the exact place I found a ton of wheat pennies last week. Got some deeper signal and first good coin was a 1903 Indian head penny! That already made my day, also found 6 more wheats, a 1943-D mercury dime and a 1944 Washington quarter! Found a pretty cool safe key and a Chinese coin!

I’ll try to clean it up; I think it was next to iron bc it’s pretty crusty on that side!
 

Pretty good day I'd say- Congrats for all those great finds!
 

It looks to be a Qianlong coin

Chinese simplified :乾隆通宝

Chinese traditional:乾隆通寶

Pinyin: Qiánlóng tōngbǎo

Wade Giles: Ch’ien-lung t'ung pao or Chien-Lung t'ung pao
 

Cool coins! Good that you went back and rescued them. Congratulations!

Congrats on the very nice hunt! :occasion14:
 

Great finds...from what I understand the Chinese coin dates somewhere from 1736?-1795...I found a group of 4 in my neighborhood. Nice finds!
