1808 Pattern Variant Military Shoulder Plate

Hill Billy · Apr 16, 2010

The plate has been id'd by Vol1266-x at post #30.
Thanks Quindy.

Got back out today with BBoy on the site I hit on Monday and the finds were still there. I found a bridal rosette, and a cloak pin at that site. We carried on to another site BBoy had researched and it was a sweet site. We found at least 20 flat buttons there, a few were pewter and a couple tombacs. BBoy found some buttons right away and we knew we were where we wanted to be. We started hitting it hard when I got a a signal that screamed LC. I told BBoy here comes a largie and he walked over to witness the unearthing. Sure enough, out pops this beautiful Matron Head. We kept at it for another 2 hours and it seemed like flat button after flat button.In the end I dug my first Jews Harp, and it was made of iron.

All in all a great hunt for us and I'm sure BBoy will be adding to this post later.
Thanks for looking
Hill

Great finds you got there, you must have wished it right for that day. I can only seem to find clad, buffalo nickles, wheaties and Mercury dimes. I hope some day I start finding some of the old coin and buttons, some day soon would be nice, good luck, Ken.

HB, that was a GREAT hunt. We only find jew's harps in the OLDEST sites here, so that spot is an EARLY spot.

Great finds my friend. I really enjoyed this hunt. Lets get out there again on Monday.

HB, you are really on a hot streak lately. I hope it keeps up for the rest of the year! :notworthy:

That site is definitely early for where you guys are. The Jew's harp proves that!

Not sure if it's my year, but I'll take the finds while the getting's good. :laughing7:

Buck is due to find another plate right about now. I'm waiting to see him fall over in the field when the next plate comes out.

That one will definitely leave a flavor when you play it which will add color to your music.

That field has mandated you compose an opus!

Tastes like Iron.

Congrats on another successful copper hunt. The buttons were popping, so you know the coppers were just around the corner. Good luck on your next hunt! I live in Colonial PA and have yet to dig a Jews Harp. :dontknow:
