Looks like what every relic hunter dreams of right there mate. Very nice find. I hope you get a detailed identification on that sweet old plate.

If you search here on Pinterest. there is an "oval" example that looks to be the identical hat badge you have recovered. So totally COOL!

That’s a sweet piece of history. I don’t recall seeing one of those before. And in such nice condition, for 200 years old.
Congrats on an exceptionally recovery.

That's what I was thinking, Gary. Heck it's tough detecting in Savannah.
Anyhoo, great 1812 find.
