Went out on my first hunt in almost a year with Addam’s Artifacts and Relic Hunting and it was definitely a great day. Metal detecting a lowcountry SC plantation site paid off big time. It turned out to be my best day metal detecting yet. Check out my finds!

Never seen this backmark. I’ve dug plenty that say “PLATED” but never one that says “PLAQUE”

And my favorite find of the day... Early 1800s Milita belt plate!!!

So I’ve heard that often the belt buckle would be what they aimed for when shooting at each other.. I wonder it that’s what hit that plate! Nice finds.
