Federal Sword Plate Found While Searching for Property Corners!

[FoundInNC]

I just found my first Civil War Federal Sword plate! This 1851 model buckle was worn by Union Officers on a sword belt! I had no idea I would find such a cool relic when I set out to find property corners in northern Caswell County, Pelham township! I finished finding my stobs and decided to dig around the old chimney on the property and this turns up! There were only about 30 minutes of light, so I was only able to dig 14 targets....the plate was the last! I don't get to dig much anymore so this is AWESOME! I can't wait to research the old cabin site further! I own it, so it is not going anywhere!

I have a video, it is on my facebook page, "Bradley Thomas Dixon" I could not load it here.

Here is a picture of the chimney from this summer.

Simply stunning! I'm salivating thinking of all the other cool relics that must be at that site. Congratulations!
