Very nice find , the Deus is a killer on small coins in the iron trash  ...  Not only for European coins as I can see ...  🙂 🙂 . Unless you found it with the Equinox , which is also very good on silvers ...

Equinox on this one Palzynski

Although the Chinese cashe coin might not be worth anything, yet I still love finding them. 

“If these old coins could talk!”

I know nothing about Chinese coins. But I assume that its journey from China to America to being lost to being found would be fascinating if we only knew.

I collect Russian Mosin-Nagant rifles. There are an estimated 260 variants, but nobody knows for sure. They were manufactured from 1891 until the 1960s, not only in Russia but in several other countries, including the US. Many were sold, given and/or captured and reissued by other nations. Most have been refurbished or remade into different variations at least one point in their lives. 

Every time I pick one up, I wonder what stories it could tell.

Nice finds. I am not an expert, but I looked up your Chinese coin. I believe it is:

Kangxi Emperor (also known as Shengzu - 1662-1722)

Kangxi Emperor

The Kangxi emperor, personal name Xuanye, was the third Emperor of the Qing dynasty, and the second Qing emperor to rule over China proper. The Kangxi emperor's reign of 61 years makes him the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history and one of the longest-reigning rulers in the world.Wikipedia

RockingCM, good luck! Let us know how you do. 
 

I really like your DP coin picture. Nice Carlos III. Did you find it? Is it one real or more?

That's awesome!  I've only ever dug two busts, a half dollar and a dime from different sites.  You're much more likely to dig Spanish reales out west than busts 🙂
