What a way to start 2019, MILITIA BELT PLATE!

[cjon455]

Went to a friend's house today to help him search for property pins, and while I was there detected the yard for 2 hours. Found a few wheats, a buffalo, and a slamming signal 1943 Walker! But just prior to the Walker I had a killer signal about 6in down and Out popped this belt plate! I had no idea what I had until some friends help me figure it out looks to be 1820 to 1835 militia belt plate! If I'm wrong, please someone correct me, i have no idea what this thing was doing where I found it at a 1930s home. To say I'm stoked is an understatement! Thanks for looking and happy Hunting!

Heck, I didn't even have time to make my 2018 wrap up post yet lol��

That is awesome! All this great stuff being posted is making me three shades of green. I’d say you might want to grid that yard and do the whole thing. Might be some other great goodies.

Way to go and keep swingin.
