An anonymous donor dropped a gold piece in a Salvation Army kettle in Clarksville.  The American Eagle coin worth about $1100 turned up Wednesday night, according to the Leaf Chronicle.  This is the third year a secret santa has left such a gift, and NewsChannel 5 reports it couldn't have come at a better time. Donations are down, and volunteers are worried. 

Read what people have to say about this story:

i got all excited when i realized theres a Salvation Army in my neighborhood. but i then found out its just a church. no donations.
