Hello all, today was one of the best days EVER bobby,adam and myself have hit this spot for almost 6 months now and it is still producing great finds. Adam found a couple of buttons with his 1st eagle button,a few orange 3 ringers,harmonica reeds etc..... Well today me and bobby "dragon6banger" went out to the field and found an unbeliable amount of relics. I got my 1st eagle button, a flat button, underwear button, and 2 snap buttons,a nice 2 ringer,a what I believe to be a COIN RING ;D a mini ball and a bunch of lead.

Bobby got several buttons as well a couple that we need help with one is of a man on a horse with a sabor ??? a flat button,a couple of what is its, a nice green 1863 indian head penny that he can add with his 1805 half cent from the other day, a womens brass wedding band from way back when. He and I both had an awsome day and will be back again tomorrow.

So we come home and are washing are finds off under the sink, I had found a piece of lead that was mangled up and the only reason I kept it was because it was lead, well while washing off under the sink bobby said thats A PLATE and you just could see the "U" so I SLOWLY bent it back out and HOLY **** :o :o sure enough it was a US BELT plate my first, I could not belive it. We both dug mangled crap up like this all day and chuncked alot it.

Need help on the following pics please: 3 4 5 6 11 and 12


Well thanks for looking we will post tomorrows finds as well

Nice finds guys - wish I could have hunted with you today. Congrats on the plate - it is almost as ugly as you described but a plate none the less. I like the classic wedding band and the unusual ring as well. That horse button is very interesting too. Great finds all around. I guess I will have to go and get myself a plate now - maybe this weekend on the OBX or maybe I will have to wait to PH haha.
