Marshall dated 1709 and made in the time of Charles IIII, of Spain. It was found in a field five miles north of Talbotton and was probably lost there during the Spanish occupancy of this part of Georgia before Oglethorpe organized the colony of Georgia. It will be remembered that Oglethorpe had a fight with the Spainards a few years after he settled at Savannah in 1733. If this old coin could talk it would probably tell a curious tale of Spaniards and Indians. On one side is written, Carobus IIII Dei Gratia (Charles IV by the grace of God) and on the other, Hispan et Ind. Rex (probably King of Spain and the Indies).

Harris claimed he was funning and didnt think the gun was loaded until it fired. Hardnett told Dr. Jackson who attended him just before he died that they were tampering with the gun and that the shooting was accidental.
