My buddy Johnathan has only been hunting for a couple of months and found this CS belt plate. Talk about setting high goals for his self, I don't think he will top this.

Thats a tough relic to top. Too bad he wasn't on here , or a "newbie", or else this would be on The Banner. Congrats to him anyways. Hogge

A great way to start. I've been digging for a little over 40 years, have dug about 450 belt plates and have never found one of those.

AWESOME find. Those CS buckles are very hard to recover. It has been on my bucket list for many years now. A guy in our local club found a CSA buckle a few weeks ago in absolute fantastic condition. Hooks were perfect. Tell your friend he now is in a club of very few people who have found one. That is a sharp looking piece of Confederate history.

I've been into the Civil War since I was 5 and my uncle took me to the graves in Atlanta. I've been in the Sons of Confederate Veterans since I was old enough to join, and have been digging Civil War relics for just about as long and I've NEVER been that lucky! The chances of digging that, especially as a brand new digger, are probably akin to winning the lottery UNBELIEVEABLE!

Hey, do you have a photo of the back?

He don't even have a computer so thats why I posted it. I think it deserves a banner anyway since he is new at the hobby. He found it with a borrowed MXT because he had the ace 250 and it did not have a VDI scale on it. Dude is young and has 2 small kids to support and could not afford a high dollar detector. Since he borrowed the MXT he has also found a pewter eagle I button ( 1 piece) and a regular eagle I button( 2 piece) and a bunch of bullets. He has been real lucky.
