Got out early this morning to beat the heat here in San Jose . Went south of San Jose for a change http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . Stopped off at two schools but both were locked up http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/BangHead.gif . Then I remembered a school I had hunted back in the 90's that was close by so off I went . School was open and no games , sweet ! Only 5 minutes into the hunt and only mt 4th target I get a +18 nickel sound . At 5 inches down I saw GOLD ! Ring #80 for the year is a 14K gold wedding band http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/headbang.gif . Very small , only 2 grams but I'll take it ! After that I had three more ring finds over about 2 hours . All are junk kids ring , #81 - #83 . The one is kind of cool with skulls around it . The other nice find was my first ever old Chinese cash coin . Not sure the date , could be late 1800's or early 1900's . Any know about this one ? Total clad was $5.49 . One note about this school , I believe it has been picked over for silver and clad . I found 27 nickels and not many quarters . That's alright because they left the gold behind http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gif .

Just found some info on the cash coin . It is from 1644 - 1661 , Emperor Shih Tsu . This would be my oldest coin I have ever dug :bananadance:
