Hello I found this while metal detecting and was wondering if anyone could help me to identify it. I Have tried many a website to try and decipher it myself but I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome.

The inscription is that of a Chinese coin of the Jia Qing emperor. Unfortunately, this piece is a modern machine-struck reproduction.

Thank you for your help and I appreciate the Welcome. Since it is a reproduction does that mean it has no value. Not that I want to sell it just curious for when relatives ask me when they see my collection of finds.

Very minimal value, yes. You can often find pieces exactly like this in a coin dealer's "Chinese coins - $2 each" bucket, but that's usually with dealers that don't know enough about them to spot the obvious fakes like this one. For a more realistic price, this feng shui supplies store will sell you a bag of 50 replica cash coins for $15.88.
