🥇 BANNER "Sheet Iron" CS Plate found this weekend!

[Worm-Slicer]

Boy what a weekend! This place I located is a virgin Confederate cavalry camp I found and have been detecting for a year now. I've found some really nice things there, but this takes the cake. It was super hot and I was digging all iron readings, cause I love iron artifacts. I had dug into a hole and pulled out a piece of a rusted knife, then took my pinpointer and located a second piece. For a third time I took my pinpointer and said to myself, "Hmm...this must be the last piece of that knife." Then, with my shovel, this oval popped out and when I turned it over "CS" was staring back at me. This is a "sheet iron" Confederate States belt plate and has a rarity of 8 out of a 10, a 10 being the rarest Confederate plates. I was so excited all I could do(after calling my bro first) was finish checking the hole it was in. Well half a Richmond spur, a complete bone-handled fork and a pewter spoon bowl was beneath this plate. Can't want to get back and dig that out better now. Thanks for looking! Here's a link with more information that I had posted, but is buried in the posts : Artifacts For Sale

Wonderful find! I've never found a single CW relic. Would love to but where I'm at in NC there would be none to be found. Give me a shout if you'd like some help with that place.

Way to go Man!
Ill bet it will clean up nice, if you clean at all but you have to stop that Rust NOW!

I think Electrolysis & a Coat of yr favorite 'Sealer' & That thing will come out Beautiful & IMO the Pitting will give it Character .
Banner Vote In.

p.s. Would love to see all the Relics you got from that site in the past year.

If I did electrolysis I would sit with it and if in doubt stop and neutralize the metal.
