Any help with identification

This was posted nearly 24 hours ago and has received only 15 replies? I believe this find is off the chart regarding rarity. How often are Rev. War belt plates posted on T-Net? It's clearly banner worthy owing to its rarity and the condition is pretty good as well. You have my banner vote. I would send an e-mail to Troiani for some information, particularly and estimate of value. I believe such a find would be highly prized among collectors. If you do enquire, please consider posting his reply. Thank you and a big congrats!

Any further details on the recovery of this find would be of interest. Not interested in further information about your location - just general details. Field recovery or woods? House site or just some random place? Perhaps you have no interest in making banner, but if you are, then details in a post is what members are interested in reading for both enjoyment and to learn. Just a suggestion.

May be deserving of banner but new member, first post disqualifies it. I save my banner votes most of the time for regular contributors to the site anyway that find items that I would really like to find

 

[Trickli44]

I found it in the woods close to an old rock wall.

 

[Leann]

Very nice! Banner!

Yea, I'd have to hang up my detector if I ever found a Rev War plate...ridiculous find. Welcome to TNet

 

[One Pin]

Wonderful! Welcome!!

 

[Trickli44]

Nice find! There are at least 2-3 others known for this unit , I have one found at Yorktown which I bought from a relic hunter about 25 years ago. From Don Troiani

 

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Congrats on an awesome recovery! Thanks for sharing. I would hit that area super hard. There should be a bunch of other neat finds. Keep posting and welcome aboard!

New account or not, I'm submitting a banner vote. That plate is an exceptionally rare find, valuable in both a historical and a monetary context. Fantastic piece.

 

[Iron Patch]

Excellent plate. Sent you a message.

Ridiculous find! Near the top of my relic list! Very near!!!! I don’t care if you’re new or not. I’m going to cast a vote. How often do we see a Rev War plate

Aren't you the OP? I'm confused.

 

[Trickli44]

Yes I am... I emailed Don Troiani about the plate and that was some of his response ..silver tree chaser asked to let him know what he said

 

[villagenut]

That makes sense and if he said it were rare, then you can bet on it. I voted banner regardless

 

[Rookster]

Now we're metal detecting. Congrats

Toasted - I understand your point. It's a good point. I see that the OP has been a member since April, which I thought might qualify for banner votes, but the rules are 90 days. Rules are for reasons - good reasons that will likely prevent exceptions. Regardless of getting on banner, the finder should be over the moon with such an thrilling find.

Such rarity cries for recognition! Banner to me.
