Hello,
I found what I believe to be is a coin I'm not sure from where. Undecided

Can someone tell
me where it's from ? I think it's cool it looks like someone made a necklace out of it.
Thanks for any information,
Wolfy

I also think it is Chineese and very well could be
a "good luck" coin. I found one very simular to it
several years ago and that's what mine turned out to be.

If Gold is where you find it, then I need to start looking somewhere else.

I looked through my world coins book. I agree it's Chinese. There were coins with similar markings, but I couldn't find an exact match

It's a relatively modern Feng Shui coin. Go here and have a look:

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

That's why I love this hobby so much! This is like gambling in a slot machine, you never know when you will hit the jackpot. The only difference is that this hobby pays off in $$$ almost every time yolu get out to hunt.

I just got back into detecting the past month or so..It is the same for me I get a good signal always say this could be the big find. I have been pretty much working the same park. 1 plated chain, 4 rings , a couple hundred clad coins and lots of pennies. Plus some foreign coin not sure what country its even from made from copper. 2 silver dimes and 3 wheaties. My problem is time is so limited. The more I go the more time I want to spend at it. Kind of like playing the lotto. Sure not going to win if dont have a ticket and sure not going to make the big find if don`t go..... Cheers Rich
