Anything historical or uniquely Japanese that you can make a close-up of?

 

[Ian (Japan)]

No, haven't really found jewelry like that.
Do have a few old Japanese coins from the beach, but not many, pic is of the oldest - 1668.

[Steve in PR]

You find something in the US from that date and it always has a good value. I imagine that it is bronze (?).

 

[Ian (Japan)]

Yes, that one is bronze Steve.

Not high value in modern day yen terms.
There were three different marks for those coins in 1668 and I have the lowest value one.
Wish my detector could read Japanese!

Was looking at Japanese coins in a book today. Some of the old small silver ones are triangular, not round, so I better be very careful what I throw away!
