BULLETIN: Josh Dug His First CW Plate-He says "Thanks to all..."

If you read my post from yesterday, you know that Dman and I shared one of our CW sites with Josh. About mid afternoon today. I received a call from Josh on his cell and he was very excited. He was hunting a site that he suspected might have CW relics and found a U.S. breastplate. He said it had both hooks. He sent me pics from his phone before and after he cleaned it at home. He also found a dropped Enfield bullet, small round balls with sprues, campfire lead, a fired 3 ringer, and a scabbard tip. Dman-better keep an open schedule this week.
Congrats Josh on your first, and certainly not last, CW plate!!!

Nice plate! It would've been nice to see a pic of that plate in the bottom of the hole! To me, that's the best site of

all as far as metal detecting goes; to see that plate at the bottom of a DEEP hole looking back at you!!! If he's got

a good site there you should tell him to invest in a camera as he'll probably get some more great finds outta there if

that breast plate signal was still in there....you know that it probably hasn't been hit hard :icon_thumleft: :wink:

Sentinel (Josh from VA), here's the first pic that he sent me when dug. It was between two rocks and was only about 6 inches deep. HH.
