A chance encounter at a local yard sale, I got a call from a friend that they were selling boxes of old bottle so I had to go... lead to me getting permission for two new spots. One, circa 1810 had great promise.... I had a few hours this afternoon so off I went. A newer 1920s house had been built next to the original one... and it had a large yard.. so I am thinking this will be a coin shoot and if I'm lucky a button or two. The front is loaded with trash but I popped out a 3 ringer pretty fast.. so I am getting my hopes up... I dug a few Mason Jar lids.. avoiding a few all on a small hilltop when I get that "bam" signal that sounded much better then a lid.. about 9"down out pops this US Cartridge Box Plate!! I hit the edge, cutting small holes since it was right in someone's front yard but the plate is already coming apart. I hunted a while longer no more 3ringers.. in fact nothing else Civil War except maybe the small matchsafe..

The Plate Gods have been smiling on me the last two weeks!! This one was dug miles away from the others not at all related..

You are on a roll dude. WTG. I went to the show. Didn't buy anything but got to see some people I haven't seen in while, which is always cool. There is a show at Fredericksburg Fairgrounds on the weekend of May 28th, in case you want to check that out..

You've really got a good run going on plates, congrats :thumbsup:

You are the BUCKLEMAN! I think you should change your name. From personal experience I know that there is not many people who can hold a candle to the quantity of civil war buckles you have saved from the grips of the soil!!!
