civil war belt plates or something else?

Vino · Aug 7, 2014

Went to a new permission to today for about and hour just to see whats going on there...Its a bed and breakfast. .11acres..The inn was built in 1760s..2nd family since it was built. ..Anyway was just roaming around this field and I got this hit that said it was 6inch down. ..Dug down and it was more like 10...New it was going to be big... this is what I saw.
I could not believe it....I was over the moon
So I slowed down and about 50 feet from there I found this...thought it was the other half but I was wrong...Its the eagle. ..Now I dont know why these would be there...If they are civil war. .I know there was training camps in the area...
Any help with I'd would be great....
I do know there was fighting going on in the revolutionary war...BUT I DONT THINK SO.....Thanks in advance. ..

That is a Waist Belt Plate, 1832 Pattern, Artillery Enlisted, 1832-1839. See page 165 of Michael O'Donnell's "American Military Belt Plates". These two pieces go together, they are not from separate buckles.

That is one heck of a find!!

Thanks to you Steve, these may have never been together!

I saw people bringing up nice stuff from older posts and this one came to mind.Talk about another nice extremely rare piece.

Let it go

DigIron2 · Mar 9, 2016

what!! Let what go? its a nice piece I thought maybe some people that missed it might want to see it, probably never see another complete one up there again. Take a break

I'll give you his cell phone number and you can bash him to his face since he can't defend himself here. God forbid you ever deviate from your self-righteous perfect path in life and you can't defend yourself when somebody digs up your sketchy past.

Why so hostile?. I am not bashing anyone. I thought the guy was cool and a hell of a hunter. I never even would have posted on it again if I thought someone would take it that way, I meant no bad intentions, dammit man. There is no doubt in my mind he found this.
