THAT PIC OF 1812 PLATE ;D
 

Plum50:

Real nice collection. I lived in Stafford for about 13 years and was a land surveyor for a bit. Ran across some neat stuff doing that job. I remember walking behind the bulldozers and picking up bullets and stuff. Oh those were the days. Sure do miss the relic hunting.
 

Plumb50,

Thank you for sharing your amazing collection of plates. I love to hear stories of the "good old days". Hopefully I'll have my day and find that ever elusive plate.
 

They're some great finds you have there. Congrats on some great digs.
