Civil War US cartridge box plate in excellent condition

[Gregg3131]

Went back to the same spot I dug the eagle breast plate a few weeks ago. After many hours with nothing to show for it I was ready to leave but decided to make another pass on the ridge where there was a campsite. Had a nice solid 82 signal. Opened the hole and saw the front part of the plate just visible. Cleaned up nicely. Was found about 25 yards from the breastplate.
