The following 4 photographs tell a story that I am going to try to condense. The house I live in was built in 1909. It was a re-build of an earlier homestead that burned to the
ground in 1908. The house is right behind me or 40 feet behind the drivers door of the white truck. between the truck and house is where I found this "coin"? The picture is
of the road that runs right beside my house which is now a private drive. In older days, i.e pre automotive days when horse & buggy was the only mode of transport, I am told that this road was the main road that connected Little Pee Dee River to The Great Pee Dee River for running supplies, logging, etc.. You will see in the photo of the truck a
highway that is crossing this road and a gate beyond the highway and a "hill that is a field" just beyond the gate on the left side. That hill is where I found a rock boundary
marker that has been examined and believed to show the boundaries of an earlier Indian family where it is presumed the father divided up his land amongst his decendants.
The coin is worn smooth and very thin but still shows a picture of a lady with what looks like a ribbon falling out of the bottom of her hair bun. The opposite side is very decayed
but you can at an angle see a straight line across the bottom 20% of it that looks like there was some kind of indication of what it represented at one time. When you lightly drop
the coin on a wooden table it has a very distinct ring to it. When I scanned it in the ground it hit "every" number on the ctx from 12/35 to 12/39. Absolutely every one of them
from different angles but kept that same "special" coin tone. It was found face up. It was found about where the driver's door is on the white truck. I found it early August and
since have found 2 square brick columns directly in line with where the coin was found. In other words, if the older burned house was still there it would have been at the edge
of where the house was. There looks to be portions of letters or numbers on it but you have to use your imagination to come to that conclusion. I have already checked a lot
of coin collections and I have seen nothing like this. Turning it over and keeping the head at the top as I have done in the picture, there is the appearance to me of a lady sitting.
It was found approximately 7" in the dirt. If anyone can tell anything about this coin, please let me know. It seems to be made of copper and again, it is very thin and measures
1-1/4" across diagnally.
