Well I think I hooked another little treasure hunter last night. Took my step daughter Mo along for a small one hour hunt in a nearby wood lot that in the past produced a civil war breastplate, far from where one should have been. Well, lightning may have struck again. Still need to do some research to confirm but we believe this to be a sword holder from the same era!!!! Along with some other junk and trinkets. This site is about 8 miles from Fort Halifax but other than that has no reason to have held these items that we know of....the breastplate was found three years ago by happenstance as I walked a wooded path to go visit my neighbor, swinging my detector as I walked. Turned out to be a great idea to do so. Breastplate was badly annihilated but a breastplate nonetheless. New finds and old plate below.
