My best relic find EVER! ~CW Sword belt Plate~UPDATED INFO!!!!!!!

Yesterday I went to a field that I hunted last year and it was in corn last season. I got a large cent, some indians, shield nickel, CW buttons, assorted relics etc.....I wanted to return this year when it was a nice flat cut bean field hoping for more goodies. This site was on the 1872 map and gone by the 1914 map, so gone for 100+ years. Started getting signals right off the bat and I couldn't believe how much was missed because of the previous years corn stalks. I got a screaming 07-49 signal and it sounded sweet. This site is right at 1/2 mile off the road, so I knew it was NOT a beer can lol. I took two big scoops out and checked the hole, now it was a solid 12-47 from both directions....oh boy I am thinking a large cent or big silver. I put my pinpointer in the hole and at the bottom of the hole it goes off, I brush away some dirt and see a flat brass looking thing standing straight up and down on edge. I pull it out and at first I am greatly disappointed as I thought it was a brass door lock thingee.....lol, then I wiped away some dirt and saw the eagle on the plate, I about fell over....I jumped up and started screaming like a fool! I was so happy as I never DREAMED, I would EVER find a CW sword plate in NW Ohio. This will be a memorable day for a long time for me.......by far my BEST relic ever!!!!

I did some research on the name who owned the homesite in 1872 and I found out he was in fact in the Civil War, so I am 95% chance I found out who this belonged too!!!! makes it so much more personable to me!!!!!!!!

I am blanking out the name to preserve my site because a simple search on the 1872 map would show the land owner and give up my site location.

Congratulations to you on the awesome buckle!!!

The great thing about that is whats the odds of one man there alone and dropped that. There has to be some awesome historical items there. I hope you find it all

Great find.
There's very little CW history in my area. It would be a miracle to find something as cool as that.

Congrats.
