REV WAR British 31st Grenadiers Cartridge Box Plate....UPDATE

Always dreamt I would find one of these. After about an hour, at the first virgin hole in over a year, me and my brother in law had some luck. Hits were everywhere. A toasted Draped Bust LC, a 1848 LC, buttons and .....THE PRIZE! I knew right away what I had, just couldn't believe my eyes. As I flipped out and screamed to Rich to get over to me, he said....."Ya got silver?" Nope....."Ya got Gold?" Nope......BETTER!!! Then I noticed the 31. There were a lot of prisoners from the 31st taken at Saratoga. Looked for about 15mins for the "GR" with the pin pointer but couldn't locate any of it. FINALLY!!!! After 2 years I have something decent to post! Definitely going back. What a day. Enjoy Hogge Update: I guess it's ok to blat it out now............Made W&E Treasures Magazine Best Finds of 2015. Second time for me. Made it back in 2009, with my Rev War Royal Artillery Belt tip from 2008. They told me last week. Did anyone else find out they made it?? Hogge

Does anyone know where, or when, the last one of these plates was posted?? On this site or any other? Just any Rev War Box Plate will do. Searched, but not extensively. Can't locate any. Not looking for a belt plate. A cartridge box plate. Hogge

Off the top of my head... Two 84ths. One a couple years back and a very nice one in 2009. A beautiful 71st on another site. And from years ago my Loyalist GR one.

Great Find Hogge.
Heck when you say first find in two years worth posting.....Your not kidding...awesome !

As for the votes, I see IPS's point you'll not get the votes simply because most people just don't know about it, and it's not "as pretty" as a gold coin.

Nice finds, and good luck out there on that site. As long as you're geting one non-ferrous every fifteen minutes or so you still have a big chance.

Voting now.

Rick the people on here are pretty smart and it is not always about the shiny things that win. Hogges banner or the rare clovis on top prove that point.
It is the members who vote the items up...
Have a good one!

Hogge have you contacted Don T to hear what he has to say?

Hogge have you contacted Don T to hear what he has to say?

Don T. sent me 2 pm's. In both, he said he would like to buy it. He knows I sell, but at the moment, just "entertaining" offers. Would like to locate the "GR", if I can find it, before I sell. Will probably accept the best offer within a couple weeks or so. I still have to take some more pics for my wall collection! I can tell you he is quite interested. Hogge

Beautiful find man!! There are a few of us that recognize the importance, rarity and value of a find like that. Congrats!

I've found a few cartridge plates over the years. Not of that variety however.
