Do you have a.picture of what that complete Box Plate would look like?
Congrats on a sweet find

Amazing. Wow, that's quite a rare find. Are you planning on a restoration?

Major congrats.

Wow that thing is KILLER! I so wish you had found it whole. Still an amazing find. Congrsts

 

[Iron Patch]

That's not uncommon for shako plates. I'd still be very happy with that find! If they were found together I would dig a large hole and sift it to get the other piece (s).

Wow! Very high on my wish list. I bet you are going to pound that site!

Amazing relic , hope you get all the pieces . Give the readers a general idea of any military history that tells a story of how , when , where on your great discovery ? ... adds a lot to the thread .

Beautiful patina, too bad its not complete.

Killer find! Wish it would have been complete, it would have looked great. No corrosion, just a nice smooth patina.
