In California we find lots of those. Many old Chinese camps were around here. Amazing something that old, they aren't worth anything. Still cool to find.. Some date back to 1600's... I have quit a few, I'll post some pics later today. I'm going huntin right now.

Cool!
Those are fun to find!!
I found one last year in Wisconsin and found two this year here in my home town. Those chinesse got around thats for sure
One of the ones that I found this year is a little different then the other two...I'm sure that means something. I was thinking about going to the chinesse resturant and ask the owner if he could help.
Here's the two I found this year and a shot of one coming out of the ground.
Congrats & HH

I think almost every Califronia city had a china town at one point in time, in my area there was on in Gilroy, and I know of one in Monterey / Pacific Grove area, but there could have been more.
I know the one in San Francisco is a thriving city within the city, I hardly ever travel that way last tiem I wnet there I didn't feel too welcome. Still looked like a cool place.

Clipper ship
I think finding an old Chinese coin would be the ultimate. To think it was minted on the other side of the globe and carried to California on a Clipper ship and in the possession of a Chinese worker headed for some great adventure.
I always think like this when I dig something odd. It's the biggest reason to metal detect for me. Unless I hit that Inca Hauscaur's (spelling?) gold chain or something like it.
