My favorite find

[Kurt Franz THB]

New to Treasurenet. Been asked to join for a while. Thank you for having me!

I've been asked many times over the years- What's your favorite find? I've been very lucky and saved some incredible pieces of history over the years but I never had a true #1 favorite find till now. A model 1810 Militia Belt Plate. Being so close to the turning point of the War Of 1812 this buckle really hits home for me. It was dug on private property. 1784 farm with owners permission.

Attached are some screen shots from the video, a few cleaned photos, and I'll link the video as well.

If you want to share your favorite find on this thread I'd love to see it.

Thanks for looking,
Kurt

About time you got yo' butt over here. Well done mate. I haven't seen the video yet, but I reckon it's a good one with this beauty being pulled from the earth. Don't tell Brad but, I think your plate is way cooler than his Flowing Hair half dime. Woot Woot !!!
