Default my first foreign coins find

Yesterday I found this old Church out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a bunch of farm fields. After asking around, it turned out to be abandoned, had been for about 20 years. So I started to detect on the grounds. I did not manage to get very far, going back in a couple of days, as it was starting to get dark, but I did manage to turn up some coins. After this find, it should be interesting to see what else is located on the old Church grounds!

Was going to post the find last night, but had to get new batteries for the digi cam.

Default Old cheap digital camera

Sorry the pic is out of focus, that is the best it will do, it is an old digital cheap digital camera.
But I can tell you what the coins are:
1-Republica De Chilie- 1 Peso 1979
1-Indonesia-50 Rupiah-1971
2-are Mexican Coins back is marked
Estados Unidos Mesicanos are are 20c each on the front
both are dated 1976
1-Republika Ng Pilipinas 10 Sentimus dated 1981
1-Netherland 1 cent dated 1971
and 1 from Malaysia-1 cent (Sen) dated 1982

Today I went back to the park, and found about 20 bottle caps, 7 pop tabs, a thin metal garden tie down stake, a nickel, a penny and a Boy Scout neckerchief slide. I only had 2 hours. I do not think that this park has been detected before, or if it has, it has been a long time ago.
Going to try to go back to the Church next week, I have to work this weekend and today I had some running around to do.
