Congrats on the beautiful looking plate. It'll be awhile now before any digging happens again with this cold snap we've had this winter so far.

I hope the Yank that wore that thing made it home okay.

Hi 1320, this plate and many buttons all US were found in an area that went under a subdivision I even took time off work to be around the earth moving that was going on at a very fast pace, got permission on condition that we wore hardhats and steel toed boots "they were "un helpful" but couldn't let the opportunity pass. found a bunch of cannonballs there also along with musket balls.
missed many many relics due to the building and couldn't be there all the time...Bonz

Not sure how I missed this one- incredible plate and banner worthy for sure.

Do any of you use tapatalk to browse this forum? If so where is the option to nominate banner? I don't see it anywhere

Congrats on finding a very desirable relic and a great piece of history. These fragile hat plates rarely survive in one piece. My banner vote has been submitted
