Eagle belt plate???

[Merf]

I dug this today. It measures 2 3/4 inches across.
The closest match I could find is from corinthcivilwarrelics.com http://www.corinthcivilwarrelics.com/nondugearlyplates.html It is the fourth from the bottom.
The pic says 1820s Eagle Belt Plate.
TIA Merf

I would say thats just what it was. I thought those were war of 1812 though. Nice dig.

Probably a wide range for plates through 1812 and dating after, like many buttons. A find like that you don't know whether to laugh or cry, but it doesn't take long until you can appreciate it.

Man,what a shame!You can tell a wild story about how it was a battle damage piece though Who knows and maybe that is truthful!!

I will go back and try to find the rest.

Could be from the Blackhawk War Campaigne in 1832
A few skirmishes going on in and near the Stillman Valley area.
