a dream hunt in NC

[csa-digger]

went on a hunt today, first one in about a year, with bobby to and old spot started off with finding a bullet and about 20 yards from that, a dream came true, started in a washout i got a good signal and told bobby and he started over the next thing i know about 10 to 12in deep i pulled out a belt plate, i started to shake and then bobby took it out my hands and started to clean it off then started yelling its an NC plate i started to shake more then and i had to just sit there about an hour i dont know if i have ever been that excited on a hunt before.

Kinda beat to H*** and back, but still a really nice find. I've only found one old belt plate and it wasn't from Civil War-it was a plain-faced militia plate from around 1830's. I'd like to find a Civil War plate-either US or CS. Yours is a NC plate-COOL!

I have always had a soft spot for North Carolina. First illegally served beverage, (The Rathskeller(?) restaurant, first girl friend's love shown. (You really didn't need to know that) Point is, now I have a third love. Fantastic plate. Oh, and Duke Basketball. Okay, fourth love.
Big Kudos.

No offense, and this is not meant to be any implication that the digger knows this, but that buckle is a modern fake reproduction, artificially damaged, altered. I have been dealing/collecting/digging Civil War relics for almost 40 years and this is not a guess on my part, but 100% fact.
