MY SECOND SWORD BELT PLATE, WITH ALL THE EXTRAS!!!

[Vino]

I got out today, with a new hunting partner and fellow Tneter. Pa Slueth.
We had a great day, we found this spot together. A 1793 home site that sits on a great piece of land.
It was a relic hunters dream.
Started off with some buttons, my favorite Blow hole, then found some shoe buckle frames. Then dug a 1820 LC, some wheats and a 1862 Fatty IH. Then I headed over to a spot in the tree line. Found my first sling buckle, then another, then the adjuster. I said man there has to be a plate around here somewhere?
I called Slueth over and told him what I found and asked him to help me find it.. Not 10min later I get a slamming signal. And said this is it or a soda can..lol
I flip the plug and out came the plate.
The Eagle was just staring at me.
I screamed like a girl and started doing the happy dance..
Man, that was a great feeling!
You never find what your looking for!
This is definitely a day I will remember for a long while. We will be definitely going back to see what else we left..
I will let him show you what he found..
Thanks for looking.
George

[RJ55]

Killer finds man.

 

[Erik in NJ]

Thanks Nut,
I sure hope it helps.

Nut, apparently he's got "shrinkage" maybe you ought to rub something else!

 

[Vino]

Well I figured once you texted me the pics you were pretty pumped, that's an amazing buckle, that should display nicely with your sword buckle

Sweet finds!

Thanks Chris,
you know I was pumped.

 

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Dude , crazy great digs good research !! If you go where the people were you will find great stuff
I m a novice hunter but after reading your post and viewing your posts. Wow is all I can say great job. !!

 

[Vino]

Great finds George!

Congrats on the US Belt Plate, the trigger guard and this beautiful set of early keys!

Dave

Thanks Dave,
I was excited about them till I found the rest of the stuff. Then they kind of took a back seat. Lol

 

[Coilcrazy2]

Once again, excellent finds Vino!

 

[Vino]

That's one helluva relic haul as far as I'm concerned! Can you show us all of the pieces of the belt and how they originally went together? I'd say finding the whole belt like that and the plate in perfect condition is a Banner find! Lookling forward to seeing it all cleaned up.

Also interesting counter-strikes on that LC. Fantastic hunt!

Thanks Erik,
I have them centered around the plate. I think Im missing the keeper?
I am going back to try and find that.
Not sure its a counterstamped?

 

[Steve in PA]

Great sword belt plate George! Love the early set of keys, and the counter stamped large cent. You also got some nice colonial finds there two with the blow hole button, shoe buckle frame and possibly a colonial sling buckle. I wonder what else that site is hiding?

 

[Valley Ranger]

Awesome relics - congratulations!

 

[Bill D. (VA)]

Haha. This is absolutely the Summer of George!!

Good one Brad - love the Seinfeld reference. And BTW - you need to update your signature pic since you have the whole plate to show off now.

 

[Bill D. (VA)]

George - where do I sign up for detecting lessons? You continue to amaze with awesome recoveries on just about every hunt. I have a lot of catchin' up to do.

 

[G.A.P.metal]

Wow George your on a "relic killing spree" !

Thanks Bill, you are way to modest!
I think I have the catching up to do.

Some incredible stuff there Vino. Awesome hunt brother. The LC is an 1810 not an 1820. Seems like a banner hunt to me.

 

[bonepicker]

Very nice Hunt. That's quite an assortment of early relics. Little bit of everything.
Maybe I missed it, but which machine were you using today.?
So many nice finds. Love the Keys, buckles, buttons, and the plate, and pretty much everything else, but id have to say the plate takes the cake. Very nice shape and details.

Thanks Evolution,
Good eye on the LC, and thanks for the banner nod.
