Civil War Belt Buckle and more!

[aquachigger]

I hit the river with HomeGuardDan today and we both did very well. Here are most of my interesting finds...




Here is the front of the U.S. belt plate...



And the back...



Some really cool bullets that were made into sinkers for fishing...



A few odds and ends to include a musket lockplate that looks almost exactly like one I found a week or two ago...



And finally, a picture of some bullets and sinkers in-situ...



Thanks for checking out my post!

Chigger you the Man when it comes to that water hunting......You gonna keep on and you'll read about me drowning from that
I'll go down find me a pile o'bullits fill my pockets and be too heavy to make it back up lol.......Cool finds man Keep up the good work!........lol.....

You probably don't realize how true that is. That's another reason I tether my machine. I've had to drop it several times in a struggle to get back to air. It's a nice feeling when you realize you are still alive and going to make it, plus you havn't lost your metal detector!

Not sure about that. It appears to be broken on the hole end. The other end has been deformed by beating with a hammer I think. I suppose it some sort of latch. I have seen similar latches on the old train cars.

Probably is some kind of latch. Anyway, best of luck in the water.
