OLD HOME & CELLAR HOLE*1827 MATRON HEAD LC

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

headed back up to a old home i was hittin last week. dug a busted clip on cufflink, a chinese coin?anyone read chinese?how old is it? and some reign guides.decided to stop at a cellar hole i ride by all the time.the only thing visible left of the cellar hole is a unoticeable well.very close to road so alot of road trash,trees down everywhere due to logging & kinda rough hunting.but,i dug a beat up 1827 matron head large cent.2 musketballs one is made of pewter was this common practice in the 1800's to make pewter shot? :dontknow: a old hair barrett thingy? :thinkingabout: a medalet ? (note the hole and ornate border)with a missing something in the middle & too bad the brown bottle was missing a side piece woulda been a nice addition to my collection.
hope you all have a safe holiday!

Nice finds. On the second pic of the chinese coin, the first character is the number 5. I don't know what the second character is. It could be also part of the number, i.e. 500, 5000, or maybe the type of coin, i.e. 5-dong.
