I decided to recon a new site this morning. Almost twice, I tried to talk myself out of going until I finally just went for it. I knew this site would most likely not be colonial, but was hoping for mid to early 1800's. I have had luck in this general area looking for relics including some from the 1600's. I spent an hour roaming around checking likely spots and then BAM hit an iron patch. I continued to work it producing an axe head (early one too) fly covers to early padlocks, other odds and ends - nothing that had my complete attention. That was until I decided to turn back along the backside of one other ridge where out of no where popped up this nice Eagle plate. It was only 3-4" down and when it rolled out, i was sure it was another smashed tin can. Once I bent down to pick it up and felt the weight, i just knew what I had found. This is my second one in the last couple of months and are always fun to find.
