Ok. Eagles.

[Goldenplug]

This was another tough non productive dig for me. What I did find wasn't bad. I found this eagle jar lid. I dont know what it went to but I like it. and this little bottle of "Imperial Cement". The back says "Use boiling hot and quickly".And last but not LEAST! This was dug by my digging partner...!!!

That is a fine outing

Loving both Eagles, sweet digs!

Wow! That's a terrific buckle. A great big congratulations on that find. Hat's off. Go over to today's finds and post it there. One of those guys will ID it for you.

Is that a lid or a liner?

 

[Bass]

It looks like a model 1851, but I'm no expert by any means

 

[Goldenplug]

I will do that Bass thanks! Hey Mucky, I believe I have ID'd the eagle "lid". It goes inside a zinc lid. It is the top to a figural milk glass owl jar. The jar with the lid goes for around 150 dollars. Would be nice to have the whole thing but thats how it goes. Maybe next time i find the owl.

Well nice eagle lid and nice belt your digging buddy found !

 

[Goldenplug]

You are right Bass! 1851

I am a fan of the eagle lid as well. You guys need to stick with that area

I found a Maryland volunteers 1854 buckle with the same configuration , that looks federal to me around the same year. real nice peace.

Woah awesome finds! That's a jar liner I would take any day of the week. But that sword plate is spectacular and would make my year.

Its great finding a belt plate like that. Just awesome. We were lucky enough to pull one form a privy. 1851 is correct sir. The lid is just icing! Congrats. jgas
