In addition to all the Seated coinage found this summer, the Metal Detecting crew has pulled over 50 Chinese Cash coins. Here is one of the more recent restorations.
Here is another Chinese Coin restoration, a remarkable transformation and appealing coin.
Funny back story to this - I probably tossed a half dozen of these 'washers' into my garbage pouch over the summer and they are lost forever. My buddy found this 'washer' in the same area but actually decided to spray it off before tossing as we were wondering why so many 'washers' were present.
Long story short for detectorists, if they are a little smaller than a dime and have a round hole, do not automatically think it is a washer.
While not a coin it is the closest thing to one. Black sand embedded in terminal corrosion - successful removal. Totally expected the discoloration but the character is much more pronounced now. Late 1700's Tombac Fire Button.
