My First Confederate Buckle!!!!!!!!!WOOOOHOOO!

[crashbro17x]

I'm going to start by telling the story from today:

I took off work today and my father and I decided last night that we had to try this new spot. So we drive up to check it out. It was a small yard, in a subdivision. I would say that the house was built in the early 50's....and it was suppose to be smack in the middle of a civil war camp. Well, we covered the yard pretty quickly due to its size. The only thing I found to any significance was a couple of pocket spills...with a little silver...YES!



After a couple of hours, daddy looked at me and said "lets go back to that camp where we have been finding all that good stuff for the past month"....Not one to argue with my father, I agreed. We pulled in and I made a B-line right toward the area where I had found the confederate C.S.A button last week. Half way there I got a good signal and decided to dig...mind you, I had literally walked about 50 yards from my truck....

So, I turned the plug of soil over and that's when I could see the back of the plate, in the hole, with the hooks facing up. I called to my dad and told him that I had found a belt plate, but didn't know what yet. He came walking over about the time that I had recovered the plate and flipped it over to see a beautiful C.S.A. on the front of it.....BOY DID I DO A HAPPY DANCE....AND YELL...AND DANCE...AND YELL...AND STOMP...AND OH MY GOODNESS..AND SO ON...!

Here is my first confederate buckle...

You Banner "determinator's" suck......

All I know is that just about all I MD for is CW Relics and if this plate don't make the banner.There
is no use for me to post my finds because I will never make the banner either.I also collect coins
to, and I know that a 1914-d cent is a very collectable coin and a nice coin.But,if a 1914-d penny
can make the banner why can't a C.S.A. buckle it is worth a lot more than the 1914-d penny.
However it looks like that must be my thought.

WoW. Outstanding. C.S.A. PLATE I still dream of pullin' one of those out some day. I know MM has the banner with a Rare NC CW buckle right now. This Rare CSA Beauty deserves to be up there with it. Not many Detectorists have ever, nor will ever have the good fortune of finding an American Civil War Relic of this Caliber!

Gets my vote! BANNER

I think the banner patrol decided to tease you for a little while.

I'm sure it will be up there soon. A CSA buckle is a serious find one one many have hunted long time to never find.
