My very first Civil War belt plate!

[BenVa68]

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.

Ben,

Why can I smell the mighty James River close to your plate find?

Congratulations!

Now that's how you do it!!! It doesn't get any better than digging a CW belt plate. Epic find! Congrats!

Nice job. I saw that WWI fuse and my eyes almost fell out! To find all that together is wild! The plate is a beauty. I got my first union plate about 1989. Another one a year later and then no more until about 2014! Go back and see what else is there!

Congratulations to you on the U.S it looks really nice. I have found pieces of a sabot but never seen a whole one dug. That is also a neat find!
