Last weekend I found a 2000 year old Chinese coin known as Wu Shu

I have had access to a site that has yielded 4000+ Chinese, Korean, and Japanese coins dating from 200BC to 1937. I had also found a 1927 Chinese Silver dollar and few American and Japanese silver coins at this site.

Last Sunday I found a 2000 year old Chinese coin. This coin I found last weekend is known as “Wu Shu”. They have been made from about 200BC to 500AD. My coin is one of the earlier ones (larger diameter and heavier than later ones) from about 140 to 80BC and is from the Western Han Dynasty. This is also the second 2000 year old Chinese coin I found at this site. The other one is in my avatar. Last weekend I also found 1 Japanese Edo period cash coin (1741), 20 Qing Dynasty cash coins (1662-1908), 40 machine made Chinese coins from 1905-1937 and some modern American and Korean clad. This Wu Shu coin was my find of the day.

Wow that's old! Congrats!
It's also got the largest square hole I've ever seen!
Hope you're going back there!

Very interesting!

Oh, and about "Wu Shu", That's very close to what I say when I get fooled by something I've uncovered.
Only, it doesn't rhyme with shoe.

Nice find!
