It took a few years but I finally dug a CW buckle. I also dug a CW artillary sabot, a Rifleman button, a few 3 ringers, a Williams Cleaner and to top it off a WW1 artillary fuse timer. This permission has some serious history! Its the same place I dug the George Washington mourning button and other Colonial relics.

Amazing finds ! Love the plate and congrats !!!:occasion14:
 
Congrats on the belt plate thats freakin cool great collection of relics hope they continue for you Well done Tommy
 
Very nice! Congrats!
 
Big congrats on your first buckle! A feeling you will never forget and it's a very nice one in great shape! That rifleman button is a killer find as well. And the WWII fuse timer is too cool. Do you think that was lost during the maneuvers? They played war all around my area here in middle TN and we luck up on some neat WWII relics. Nicely done!
