Hi everybody,

I received my new 12.5 Excelerator coil today and of course had to test it out. Well, long story short I found my first Eagle Breast plate. It's in great condition also. Also found a pulled mini, brass buckles, iron relics andsome modern clad. This coil is awesome and now ill need to re-hit all my favorite spots.

Happy Easter Everybody!!

HH- Ronin

Awesome breast plate! That buckle above the breast plate looks to be around 400 years old. HH and congrats, Mike

I was wondering about that buckle. It might be that old being here in Williamsburg. Im going to try and get a better ID of it. Thanks for looking.
