Well I was at a new park and hitting up the outskirts of the park where a home used to be in the 90s. So I was about to check another area as I headed up a area I got a strong beep in the 20's tid. Loud. I bend down to check with pro pointer and it's less than a inch below. I don't know if it's real or not but it's old that's for sure.

One coin website says 1500-1600s this will probably be the oldest coin I find. If its real. Lol

Ch'ieng Lung era. Probably the most common Chinese cash coin you US 'tectorists find.
1736-1795. Looks real enough.

I both fake and real ones, the fakes are thin like a dime and the real ones are about as thick as a nickel.

They are more valuable if they are from the Kach'ing dynasty.

Only makes cents(lol) that I would find the equivalent of a few hundred year old wheatie. I like it though.
