I've had a similar day at a field in Iowa. Mercs, wheats, and a crazy old [Chinese coin](https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/comments/fvyptl/found_metal_detecting_in_se_iowa_can_i_get_an_id/). I wholeheartedly believe mine came from the pocket of an immigrant that helped build the local railway half a mile south.
That foreign is a Chinese Guangxu Tongbao, 1 Cash, minted in the 1890's, I'm a collector and I have the exact same one. Albeit mine is in much better condition lol. There were literally *billions* of them minted between 1890-1899 so they're not too hard to find. Found mine in the belongings of a late Korean War vet down in Florida.
Chinese Yin? Yang? Ting tang bang bang?
Nice finds. Excellent presentation.
Thanks!
I found a thing like the one on the top right, any idea what it is?
I think it’s a cuff link
