Got out for a few hours today to a spot I’ve hunted many times in the past. I dug a few bullets, and then nothing for over an hour. I dug a shotgun shell and next to it I get a deep reading that I figured was junk, but I decided to dig it anyhow. Glad I did because out pops this eagle breast plate. Unfortunately I dinged the edge of it, I guess you can’t win them all. Relic hunting is a lot like life, never give up because you never know what’s just around the corner.

Oh man what an amazing find! :hello2:
Don't worry about the damage, I'm sure that you can find a restorer in your area to stabilize it.

Now that is a nice find. Congratulations to you. They all are becoming scarce and sites are being lost every day. That will look nice framed up!
