Went to a friend's house today to help him search for property pins, and while I was there detected the yard for 2 hours. Found a few wheats, a buffalo, and a slamming signal 1943 Walker! But just prior to the Walker I had a killer signal about 6in down and Out popped this belt plate! I had no idea what I had until some friends help me figure it out looks to be 1820 to 1835 militia belt plate! If I'm wrong, please someone correct me, i have no idea what this thing was doing where I found it at a 1930s home. To say I'm stoked is an understatement! Thanks for looking and happy Hunting!

Heck, I didn't even have time to make my 2018 wrap up post yet lol��
