Nice "o" dime brother!

The bullets are post-1880s, as they have cannelures inside the rings.

Best of luck to you and FMERG.
 

THANKS, TOM--- these are plentiful, they mic at .363 Cal
 

Great finds! I believe your "Chinese coin" is an item used in I Ching fortune telling, not actual currency. Someone more familiar can confirm or correct that, but I think it's what it is.
 

The Chinese cash coin is from 1735-1796. Awesome coins. I never find that much stuff,

Here are what I Ching coins look like, which is why I posted my thoughts:

And here is a Chinese cash coin:

The find in this thread looks to be very old, and I don't know enough to provide any guidance. Coinman sounds pretty certain, so start with his opinion! Good luck! :icon_thumright:
 

Awesome barber dime also, I have only ever found one, in my first week of detecting. I know all of the Ch'ing dynasty coins by memory now, but here is where I learned each type from.

coins of china, the Ch'ing Dynasty
