Eagle Belt Buckle - Identified As A C1815-1825 Militia Waist Belt Plate

[bookfisher]

Hi all. I hit a woods today that I haven't been to for about six months. In the past I found a Shield Nickle, an Indian Head Penny, a Standing Liberty Quarter (no date), a Mercury Dime and some minor 19th century relics (skeleton key, small crotal bell, ect). Today I found this cool looking military belt buckle. Thanks again PBK for identfying it!

That buckel is awsome. . I would be back there every day.

My friend Rob and I were back there on Saturday for two hours and we found absolutely nothing, just a few pieces of old junk. For the most part, we couldn't even find a good signal to dig. Go Figure.
