My 11 year old son's First Civil War Plated Mounted and Framed. *UPDATE**

Hello all..

I figured that MonkeyBoy Jrs first plate was worthy of more then just sitting there in his display case. I mounted it in a small display case with a write-up about when he found it and the maker's mark and inspection stamp on the back. Digging his first plate just yesterday.. he is already talking about finding another one!! ;-)

Yesterday we had our annual meeting for the non profit I am the president off.. we have some osrt of talk or presentation after the business is done. This year I did a "Relic Show" and history of the colonial and Civil war activity in out town. The first thing I did was call my son up to present his first Civil war plate and talk about it... it all went great!!! Lots of interest and I picked up 4 more place to hunt!! ;-)
