From the 1934 film "The Man from Utah":

These pictures are from the 1934 Lone Star Productions and Monogram Pictures film "The Man from Utah".

The singing cowboy "Singin' Sandy" rides into town and later busts up a group of crooked rodeo operators.

"Singin' Sandy", also known as John Wayne, plays cowboy John Weston.

In these scenes, John looks in his purse, finds one coin, and decides to look for a job.

Polly Ann Young, sister of Loretta Young, plays the love interest.
Sandy's singing voice was dubbed by someone else.

It appears to be a Chinese "cash" coin.

Does the past fortell the future?

Could it be a coin of Ghengiz Khan, also known as Temujin, "The Conqueror"?

    Looks like a chinese woman's purse , probably a lucky charm token.
    Does John plays the role of a pick pocket cowboy ?

    The Native Americans discovered America and lived here a few thousand years before anybody else even thought of coming here.

    Hey Willie, not sure if your statement was "tongue-in-cheek"

    << <i>...proof that Chinese discovered America >>

    so just to be sure.

    There is a program on The History Channel (121/H2 on Dish) called "America Unearthed". A geologist by the name of Scott Wolter travels around the U.S. investigating ruins, rock carvings, buried items since found, etc. He has proven, in his own mind and many others, that the Knights Templar first came here well before Columbus, Vikings, etc. Extremely interesting program and very informative.



    << <i>...native Americans discovered America >>

    is incorrect. They were merely the first to inhabit the lower 48 crossing the land bridge from Russia into Alaska and down or those S American peoples that came north thru Mexico and settled.
    Everything starts and everything stops at precisely the right time for precisely the right reason.

    Extremely cool! I will have to check that out on Netflix. Thank you so much for posting that tidbit image

    What's the difference between walking onto a continent, versus sailing your boat over to the continent's shores? They were the first inhabitants because they discovered it first. Any argument is semantics IMO maybe it depends what dictionary you're using?

    And I dare you to make the journey yourself and then claim they don't deserve the rights of discovery image
