I found what I think is an old militia belt plate and a couple of flat buttons a few days ago at a plantation site that dates back to about 1750 not to far from my house . I found 2 pics of the belt plate , one said it dates back to 1810 , the other said 1820 . What do yall think ? The hook in the front got bent over backwards somehow , but I'll still take it .
If Mother Earth give,s us precious metals like gold silver and copper why leave them in the ground to disappear forever , dig them out and save History !! http://www.artifactdetectingteam.com/Finds.html
Looks more like this, only a non-NY militia belt buckle. http://www.beltplates.com/1840ny.html
If so, then the 1840's or so may be more accurate.
Good looking no matter what the age or origin.
Congratulations on a fine looking relic! HOGGE My Banner vote is in.

Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.
