First CW plate!

[birdman]

Hi all, just returned from branching from the hot spot which has starting getting cold. For two hours I dug junk and then I found my first relic of the day which was a three ringer, about a foot away I had another signal which I figured to be more can slaw when from about 8 inches I spy a breast plate with no plow marks!

I have seen these before on Tnet ,youtube,other forums and a friend has one in a display case. I have always wanted to dig one. Today was a good day.
I also found an I cuff button ,some lead and an Indian knife/scraper. Thanks for looking and HH.

It's a great feeling to see a plate popping out of the ground. Congrats & HH!

One of the best feelings in the world is popping a plate out of the ground. I certainly agree with VOL 1266. These are hard to find with the iron hooks intact.

Yea it's going to be my inside rig.Have not got my offshore one yet but it's coming. I'm ready to Buddy,I've not put the coil to the soil all fall or winter,so I'm itching.Can't promise goodies like you've been digging but will have fun looking anyway.
Talk with ya later,
Pete,

TK , getting on the water for a bit will be just as good even without any finds. Can't wait and I think you were right my little 4hp would not make the team.

Just got back from the same area and found almost nothing but a button back. I did score an Indian relic but that was about it.
