War of 1812 US Artillery Belt plate!!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

I cant believe my luck ! I just got my new headphones this morning but the rain was coming down hard FINALLY it let up for a bit so I headed to the orchard. Swinging along and digging trash......... I thought for sure that this signal was some more junk. Not very deep, so I was not very carefull. BAM !! Belt plate was in my hand and I was doing the happy dance!
I managed to hit it with my shovel but.......... oh well, I have a freekin' belt plate

Here are some pics, only dry cleaned so far.
