I was in the home town visiting and decided to try a new spot. They had just had the town fair and I wanted to try the lot where they have been parking for as long as I can remember. It belongs to a friend and he said no problem. I got there parked and took out my Outlaw with the 8" coil. On the first swing, the first target (no joke) was a small lead pellet. I rescaned the hole and turned up this great token. It says Julius Buhlert, good for 1 drink, West point Calif on one side and Jacob Strahle & co, billiards mfr's, 515 market street, San Francisco Calif on the other. It is in excellent condition and the best I can tell is from around 1890. I danced a little jig and figured I had found the mother load of old coins. I kept searching and after about 10 min turned up this Chinese coin, the info is on the pic. I didnt find any more there but know it is. I will be going back and doing a very slow search to see what else I can turn up. This place is a knight mare to search. Its that nasty hard red clay that makes the detector chatter and its loaded with iron and old trash. The token was at about 5" and the coin at about 7". sorry about the pics I dont have a good camera.
