What a way to end the day! 11 degrees when I got to the 2 cellars on private property I received permission to hunt. went there in the fall and the 1st site was and still is overgrown with vines and briars. 2nd site gave up some buttons and a knee buckle last time. decided to go back to both sites today. the clear site gave up a cool cast brass little buckle a few buttons,broken shoe buckle pieces and a cast brass face thing?
headed back to the overgrown site on way back to car with a 1/2 hour left of daylight and fought my way around the cellar. got a clad qtr a cool little buckle with a guy and his dog. and last signal i thought was gonna be a copper. Dug down and out pops a New York Militia Eagle belt plate. Amazing to see that come out of the ground! I had a friend look in the American Military Belt Plate book It's not in that one or any military belt plate book.
Can anyone help me with this? Is it a rare buckle?

That is a beautiful plate in amazing condition. Was it the Sydney kerksis book? If not I will check mine later tonight. It definitely has the New York militia look with the eagle and globe.

Everyone has been checking belt plate books and not one person has found this in any book of military plates.
