Per Rick's sage advice I'm posting this link to information on those pesky brass Chinese coins that turn up at old sites, and we can't figure out how old they are.

Based on the findings of this dig the Chinese coins we find may be the oldest coins found regularly on the west coast.
Here it is...

There was chest on chest full of Spanish Gold,
With a ton of plate in the middle hold.
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless eyes and lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb
Bottle of Rum!
Bottle of Rum!
"The Derilect" 1903

And yet another site that allowed me to id a coin I had found to 1906 - 1910 (its the "common" one #336).
