1808 Pattern Variant Military Shoulder Plate

[Hill Billy]

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

Here's a link to one, and it is a $500 price tag on this Non-Banner find.

I agree with VOL1266 that the one posted above is the 1814-1830 time frame

I can see that. A British one in nice condition gets $200-$300.

What a plate, . I Still say this is a banner find.
Thanks Buck, for finding one that can be matched up besides the one Vol posted.
Shows you how rare of a find it really is.

Yep. Worth more than those lousy CW sword belt plates and eagle breastplates I've been digging.

I wouldn't complain if I were you.
