Civil War Belt Plate

[comfyinvermont]

Got over to a small farm in a town not too far away this afternoon for a few hours of hunting with a friend who is just starting to detect. No sooner had I started when I got a half dollar and overload signal. Turned out to be a model 1851 officers sword belt plate. Unfortunately it is a little bent on one end and does not have the silver wreaths on it any more, but I could not be happier. It was in a dump area and was only about three inches deep....Lance

That's a really nice buckle Comfy. I hope to turn up one here in P.a. With all the action it has seen there has to be one out there. When your on a streak your on a streak. I got out of mine this summer with work. But now I am finding it again. You have to stay hunting all the time.

Good Luck as if you need it.
