[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 486800, member: 11952"] A lunchtime swing with a "full iron bias, dig everything that doesn't sound like a big coke can" mindset gave up the goods at the site that provided that last 1829 shilling. A gilded buckle, a Paris branded clothing buckle, part of a lock, few other metal scraps (and a couple of harmonica reeds not pictured) and my first Chinese coin! It's been holed for wearing but it looks like whoever did it couldn't read the coin, it would hang sideways. Not only my first Chinese coin, but it's also my oldest find by far as this particular one (Emperor K'ang Hsi) was minted between 1661-1722. I'll call it 1700s just to be safe. Didn't ring up high, I think it sat around 14 or so.
