My first CW plate

[FatCat]

Went out with the boys for the first hunt of the new season. It has been a very hot and long summer here in the south. We went to a spot that we had been told was "hunted out years ago". I dug a few bullets and trash targets for the first few hours and then I hit a spot that I found a lot of tin cans in on a previous trip but I knew there had to be some good stuff in there as well. When I dug the signal I saw the top of a old tin can come out, but when I picked it up it felt very heavy for a tin can top. Needless to say I took a closer look and saw the wing of the eagle. I called my buddies on the other side of the site to tell them I was doing the happy dance. I found one more bullet and 3 flat buttons on the remainder of the hunt. Thanks for looking and HH.

Nice breastplate, great way to start the cool relic hunting year off. Whats the backmark on that flaty?

 

[FatCat]

Thanks everyone, I am not sure what the backmark on the flatty is. I'll have to do some research. Thanks again for looking and HH.
