I'm glad this got bumped back to the top of the list, It was just as fun to read the second time around. Good luck finding another spot like this one in '09.

Hey thanks!

We're working tirelessly to find one. Sites like this don't come around often.

But I'm happy to have a belt plate for '09 already. I don't see us beating our 4 1/3 belt plate record this year though...but who knows? :icon_sunny:

The great thing about detecting, is if you consistently hunt sites where anything is possible, then just about anything can become a reality.

Best wishes to you this year as well.

Those are certainly the finds we all live for!! Thanks for sharing the excitement with us. Those were some great pictures. I'll bet the ticks don't stop you from going back.

Just a minor inconvenience when having that kind of day. Wishing you continued luck on your next hunts.

Thank you for the kind words. It is almost tick season again here. :-[

And I'm not looking forward to it. But the way I see it, I have to brave the ticks and the heat and humidity in the summer to make the finds. You can't find it if you don't look for it. 8)

The second to last picture.... could that blemish at the bottom possibly be from a bullet

? And that may be why his uniform was on the ground?

Nope, more than likely that's a rusted through attachment point from the iron loop on the back. If look closely the ridges are toward the viewer rather than away. Now, if you're imagining a wound that might have done this, a shell splinter that came all the way through his body, from the back could produce a small hole like that, but I still think it just a result of rust eating through the metal, from the back.

That's exactly what it is. Iron attachment loop eating through the face of the plate a bit.
