Yankee finds Confederate Belt Buckle

[herm]

Although I have been a member of this forum for a long time, I have never posted a find. I have been detecting for 40 years but this is my first civil war find other than the occasional minie ball. I was hunting a field where an old one school house stood and this flipped out of a plug. North central Ohio not being a hotbed of civil war relics, I would appreciate some advice on what I have and if it has any value. At some point it must have been hit by a plow because it has a bend in it. It is roughly 2 x 2 7/8 x 3/16 thick. Sorry about the long post and I hope these pictures work.

I must say that's a beautiful find and I'm
glad you decided to post that incredible plate. I'm a believer that some of our finds actually find us, and that plate ended up under your coil for a reason. Excellent digs
