Relic Hunting in Ohio, Found 1700's Lockplate!

My partner and I were out relic hunting here in Ohio the last few days. Actually we are trying to get some hunting in
before DIV. We hunted a Revolutionary area. My buddy Gary found, what looks like a Lion Button. I found a Flintlock side plate.
My first ever. Of course we both found our share of flat buttons and some camp lead. But we never found a musket ball, so I'm
sure we haven't found the original camp site yet. Gary also came up with a really nice Indian Scraper.

The next few days we hit several one room school houses. We both found Indian Head pennies and strange as it is, we both
found 1865 Indian head pennies and we both found 1870's coins. All in all we had a pretty good few days of hunting. I need a
whole lot more of that kind of hunting. I feel really sore, about like the first day of a DIV hunt.

Congrats on the lockplate. Those good iron signals are GOOD relics many times! And even shells in my area :icon_thumleft: :wink:
