1840s Eagle Belt Plate, Silver, Relics

[prolab69]

Checked out a cellar hole and farm field today, first hit was this nice coin silver watchback. also scored an 1887 indianhead, a nice dinner style bell, an interesting relic, probably for a napkin holder or something, and a decrative belt clasp, then once I searched the cellar hole good, i headed out to the field where I scored my 7th 1800s military uniform plate. enjoy...

Sweet find! If you don't know...1840s/1850s "excelsior" New York State militia officers belt plate. I found one a few months back. They're pretty uncommon from what I've read.

Nice /no very nice finds congratulations ,also I see the Trees up there have not bloomed out yet , here in N. Ga they bloomed 3-4 weeks later than they did last year. I HOPE this means the Summer won't be as HOT this year. I HOPE YOU KEEP UP THE THE NICE RELICS , GOOD LUCK..

yeah ill be heading back to that field again, trying to get there today actually. i covered the site pretty good, but who knows, maybe a slower swing or different grid pattern will turn up something else. just before i found the plate i was finding older spoons and forks but alot of trash. thanks to everyone who added input,
