Took my grandson out for a short while and found what I have longed for what seems like an eternity.

I actually found this sat morning but this is the first chance I have had to post it.GOD receives all the glory for my finding this. It is truly answered prayer for me.when I found it I was running around and jumping like a kid at recess until I noticed I had spectators at a nearby ball field paying more attention to me than the game they were seated at. Lol. I have a friend that said he is about to get me an article in the north south trader. That will be awesome. I won't get another chance to hunt this spot until I come home around Christmas. It will be on my mind night and day.

Nice One!!!

The face is very stunning with the traces of black enamel nicely highlighting the lettering.

Any other relics found along with this nice CS Buckle? Amazing to see another of these rare beauties surface!

Looks BANNER WORTHY to me!

Looks like Fall is here on the T-net. Both great coins and relics being posted.

Surely there is not a 1 quota for CS buckles on the banner.

Just for your reference on this Army Of Tennessee CS buckle you have - here is a photo from "American Military Buckles & Plates" by Kerksis

also to note these buckles are only found in like Georgia,MS, Tenn, Kentucky and far western Virginia... The Army Of Tennessee operated between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River.
