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!! ;-)

I am giving a lecture on local Civil War and Colonial sites at the annual meeting of our Historical Preservation Group today and MB Jrs Plate will be the center piece of the display!!! I'm even going to have him come up and talk about finding it... Got to give him public credit for out digging the old man!!!
