Think I found a Civil War breastplate

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

That's just awesome! No doubt that put a big smile on your face when you found it.
