Today my modded Cibola found my first breast plate. It may not be the prettiest one around, but I have been wanting to find one for a long time and today I finally scored.

Congrats on your first BP!! At least, there is very little ground action on the rim. If you want to smooth the patina, you might consider a little vaseline applied to the face. That will darken the lighter patina. Oh heck, just leave it alone. You never forget your first. HH, Quindy in Tennessee.

I have been detecting for a few years, but my desire to get a breast plate came from having one dug about 10 feet from me last spring. I thought my chances of being that close to one again were pretty low. I found a camp site location just across the road from my house. I have dug a lot of bullets and a few buttons and thought it was pretty much worked, but today proved otherwise. I had a spare hour late today and hit the place again not expecting too much. My next goal is to get a belt buckle.

Congratulations!
