US Belt Plate

[Brentallica]

US Box Plate

So - my brother postalgriff and I attended a Graduation party in TN and were informed that Confederate troops camped on part of property.
I was thrilled to find the mini ball and would have completely satisfied in that alone.
Rooting through the trash last night I was brushing off the inside of what I thought was a piece of garbage and could see the "U".
A bit beat up but sure happy to have recovered it!!
WOW - never throw away your trash without thoroughly going through it!

UPDATE - after further research I believe this is a Box Plate - not a Belt Plate
