MY SECOND SWORD BELT PLATE, WITH ALL THE EXTRAS!!!

[Vino]

I got out today, with a new hunting partner and fellow Tneter. Pa Slueth.
We had a great day, we found this spot together. A 1793 home site that sits on a great piece of land.
It was a relic hunters dream.
Started off with some buttons, my favorite Blow hole, then found some shoe buckle frames. Then dug a 1820 LC, some wheats and a 1862 Fatty IH. Then I headed over to a spot in the tree line. Found my first sling buckle, then another, then the adjuster. I said man there has to be a plate around here somewhere?
I called Slueth over and told him what I found and asked him to help me find it.. Not 10min later I get a slamming signal. And said this is it or a soda can..lol
I flip the plug and out came the plate.
The Eagle was just staring at me.
I screamed like a girl and started doing the happy dance..
Man, that was a great feeling!
You never find what your looking for!
This is definitely a day I will remember for a long while. We will be definitely going back to see what else we left..
I will let him show you what he found..
Thanks for looking.
George

Of all the things you found, I am kind of partial to the key ring with the old keys!

Oh, man what a day! Killer relics, and a classic head LC to boot.

 

[RelicMedic]

Dear Lord! Incredible, as always!

 

[cjon455]

Well I figured once you texted me the pics you were pretty pumped, that's an amazing buckle, that should display nicely with your sword buckle

Sweet finds!

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Great finds George!

Congrats on the US Belt Plate, the trigger guard and this beautiful set of early keys!

That's one helluva relic haul as far as I'm concerned! Can you show us all of the pieces of the belt and how they originally went together? I'd say finding the whole belt like that and the plate in perfect condition is a Banner find! Lookling forward to seeing it all cleaned up.

Also interesting counter-strikes on that LC. Fantastic hunt!
