Coming off my last outing and managing to pull my first Eagle sword belt plate, I managed to dig another plate! It was purely random. Same story as before. Trimmed out some overgrown weeds, mowed down the grass and raked it clean. Went about detecting in the iron grunts when I got a nice little squeak. Decided to poke around and see what I might find. Nail after nail came out the hole UNTIL...somehow, once again off the center of the hole I dug, about 3 inches away and 6 inches down, a whitish surface appeared. Managed to miss this one too with my shovel and it came out pretty sweet. The back loops are long gone and the edge is a tiny rusty, but it's another find I can check off the list. US Oval Box Plate! Now I need to locate that eagle breastplate that had to be with it at some point. Still can't get over two plates in a WEEK! And maybe 20 yards apart. You just never know!
