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!!!

WOW That is a nice plate. It is really rare to find on with the hooks. That a find he'll never forget. The first plate I dug was a breast plate. I dug in in the spring of 1970. Still have it and remember it like it was yesterday.

Well I would expect nothing less from Josh. After all...he's learning from the best.

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

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.

YES, now thats what I'm talking about my Tennessee friend! Thats a beauty

Josh asked me to relay his thanks to all who looked and replied to this post. He asked me to say that WE (Josh, Dman, and myself) should have more pics of recoveries from his new site later this week. HH and thanks for looking.
