I went early this morning back to the location where I found my first standing

liberty. Huge amount of interference, There`s underground electrical across the

street and two large vetilation pipes sticking up out of the ground, There must

be a utility vault right under where I am hunting :frustrated:

After about 20 minutes of just trying to pinpoint any signal I can, through all

the interference, I finally get one, its iffy and under a couple roots about 5

inches, I keep digging under the roots and pushing the dirt to one side and

scooping it out with my other hand I see a disc shaped object with a square

hole in it, I immediately thought Chinese coin, and thats what it was.

Its pretty crusty on one side but I can clearly see the markings on the front,

obverse.

It is this exact coin in the link below.

I took pics but they are too big or something and will not upload.

Here is a pic, I tried to make it more visible by making it brighter.
According to the info in the link I posted it is A pre 1900 coin, If so it would be my second pre 1900 coin, and another foreign coin, kinda odd considering I have not found A US one (pre 1900) yet in all the time ive been detecting :?:......:shrug:
