This is why I wear a Video Camera! Brass Belt Plate

Both pictures are of the same item, one with a flash and one without. I found this while detecting an old house that sits close to a military road that goes to Fort Leavenworth, KS. It was about 10" deep and is in perfect condition. I don't know much about it yet but I believe it to be a Regulation 1851 Union Sword Belt Plate (please correct me if I am wrong).
