I FOUND IT!!!!! I FOUND IT!!!!! Went back well equiped this time. 3 feet from where I found the plate I got a high 70 low 80 at 8". I just knew it was it. Plenty of roots but the Lesche did its magic. Had the wreath part of the buckle in 5min. I am so happy right now. :) looked around for a bit. Found 1 musket ball and plenty of lead. Am going to grid and hunt this place with a fine tooth comb.

What do you guys suggest I do with restoration/preservation? Do I just leave as is? Should I have it done professionally? If yes by who? Also should I contact a museum to let them know I have it in case they want pictures or even display it? Never been in that situation before so I welcome input and advice from the TNet community.

Thanks for watching!

Patrick
