Man I would be proud to find anything like that down here, scratched or not. I recently looked at some old maps on
the net here wondering why I don't find coins like those older ones I see on here. I did a comparison of maps
progressing backwards in time of the state. More recent maps first to the oldest maps I could find of the state of
South Carolina. What I found was the state being almost non-populated in the area from just east of Columbia
to the coast north of Georgetown, up the coast to the state line and back across westward to the I95 area. Historically,
I could not find any early marches during war time other than the one pursuit of General Francis Marion by the Red
Coats. There are areas here with possible early American habitation but almost all of them are under government
protection as historical Francis Marion campsites or early Indian habitation. The oldest coin I have found is an 1860
British One Cent. Most really old finds are in the 1920's and 30's. In my investigation I found that 95% of the civil war
marches, camps, and railroad moves were north, west, and south of Columbia and east over to Georgetown and south
from Georgetown to Savannah.
Way to go on the finds. As you progress, believe it or not you will go back and find more where you found that. Just
the right amount of moisture and it really bangs out the finds.
