Found CW U.S. Buckle

[RiverRat3]

Got lucky and dug the buckle. I detect with the Equinox 800. Buckle hit in bullet range of 18 but was about 14 inches down. Was a great surprise. The item to the left are stacked Burnside casings. I guess the soldier was bored.

This spot has given up a wide array of bullets. I think it was used multiple times throughout the war as a camp. I have only found two gardners at this location.

Nice stuff. Besides the Burnside cartridges I see a Colt pistol bullet, classic Yankee 3 ringers, Sharps Carbine, a Merrill carbine bullet and CS Gardner. A whole collection in one trip! The triangle is part of a standard issue US knapsack set.

You’re right about 2020 but I have been fortunate to find 3 plates this year. My first 10 years of detecting I could never find one. Probably because detecting js the best social distancing hobby.

The trade off is the nice colonial relics New Englanders find. Would love to find a GW button.

Three plates of any kind in a year is outstanding for sure!
