SWEET SOLDIER CARVED BREASTPLATE FOUND TODAY

[calmerthanu]

went back to a yankee camp ive been hunting for awhile, had found a couple bullets when i got a good tone that sounded different from a bullet, and out pops the soldier carved eagle breastplate, must have had a bit of time on his hands to cut the eagle out of the breastplate, also found a large harmonica reed and a nice GS eagle button as well.

One part of me hates to see the breast plate not whole and the other part says man that thing has a story to tell! Never seen that ,really has a lot of character. Congrats on a very unique find.

that's just pretty cool. I wonder if an officer would come down on them for altering part of their uniform?
