These are from the last week or so of hunts. A few of the silvers came from my hunts I did on my lunch break at a nearby park. The rest came from city owned parcels or curb strips in an old town near where I live.

Last night I found the Chinese Ten Cash coin...I think it is from 1904 from the Kiang-nan Dynasty?

Also found the 1842 Canadian Half Penny last night. I have seen these before but have never dug one up for myself. It is the same size and same thickness of a US Large Cent. A very pretty coin in my opinion! I had to give it and the Chinese coin a peroxide bath in order for them to look this good...the half penny was caked with green calcified crapolla on its back.

Interesting. The 1/2 penny says it's a bank token. Nice find. Whoa that nickel is worn for a war nickel. The Chinese coin is not what normally gets dug. Usually it's the ones with a square hole.
