Think I found a Civil War breastplate

[rastinirv]

I'll put it over on What Is It to be sure. About 8 inches down in my favorite secret detecting spot, where yesterday I found my first Standing Liberty quarter. But I think this beats that! 1st and 2nd pics are before and after a light cleaning

You did & WTG!!! If you want to get the ground action on the peruimeter restored professionally, I know a guy in AL who can make that happen or you can leave it as is. He has restored hundreds of relics for relic dealers and 6 or 7 for me. Here's a before & after of one that I dug in March that he restored. HH, Quindy.
