Haul for a 3 day trip to the beach. 10k and clad

volksbeetle28 · Jun 6, 2019

Made the 3 and 1/2 hr drive to the ocean for a small getaway. Hunted the beach for three days this past Sun., Mon., and Tues. for about a total of 17 hours. Swinging my equinox 600 with the 15 inch coil I just picked up from Myers Metal Detectors. Went several blocks without a target so it got pretty heavy at times without a break to dig something up. I was definitely digging up some deep clad. Had to give up on a few targets because the hole kept filling in with sand and the scoop I have isn’t that big to get down there. But I always enjoy hunting the beach. Ended up with a big pile of clad. About 25 bucks worth. Anyone have any ideas on the age of the Chinese coin? Also found a couple junk rings, one was claimed by my mom, and some other junk jewelry. Also got a galaxy s9 cell phone down in the wet sand. The big find was the angel. It’s marked 10k NPS. Not sure what the second part means but that thing sure is pretty. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Nice 10k and clad haul! Sounds like a fun time!

I need to see the other side of the Chinese coin to date it. All I can tell you right now is that it's no later than 1911.

I'd say that is a good 3 day hunt!

That little angel is very beautiful and that was a nice clad haul!

Thank you. Took me awhile to find the markings on it. Now I think I need a test kit.

wow that’s awesome! Thanks! When I searched google I stopped at 10k nps. That’s definitely the best thing I’ve ever found hands down value wise.

Thanks! I did see one other hunter. I’m really surprised I didn’t see more.

Two possibilities, but either way, it's a Qianlong Emperor design. One possibility is that it was minted between 1735 and 1796 during his reign. During that time, the Xinjiang region was conquered and brought into the Qian Empire. After that, one in five coins produced in the mint in the Xinjiang region continued to have that design instead of the current Emperor. So, possibility two is that it's essentially a commemorative coin produced as late as 1911.

Man, that's awesome... I'd take that coin over a gold ring any day of the week.

Wow! Thank you for the quick history lesson and the link. I’ll have to put that in a flip. I wonder how it ended up in the water...

That is a sweet angel! Hope you don't melt that one! I found a diamond encrusted Jesus. It was difficult to sell but I finally did and didn't have to melt him. congrats!
