I found this piece in April of 2003, In Oconee County S.C. On A site where General Andrew Pickens Had built his home,It was call Red Hill, About one quarter of a mile from the center of a Cherokee Indian village called "Tomassee" This itself sitting about one mile as the crow fly from Oconee Station, this had started out as one of many forts stretching from Tellico plains all the way into the southern part of South Carolina.
The following measurements are from the Spanish coin. Diameter is 36.69mm Weight 18.8 gms. I assume that the break is from the station owner making change who knows, my question is this do you think it's really a reale? as to any other history that i can give is that pickens home burnt down around 1820 Although I'm not sure, and i feel that's how the reverse got burnt so bad. The .25 piece come from an old corn field in Westminster S.C. And the dime (sorry about the picture is an 1838 seated liberty found on a ridge above A tunnel being built during the 1850's can't tell anything about it unless you get it out in bright sunlight under a high power loop. Any info on the Spanish piece would be appreciated. HH
