what is a box plate? Ive never heard of one before. ???

A box plate was a US emblem attached to the front flap of a soldiers bullet pouch.
 

I knew you would find one! Congrats JD! Tsgman
 

Nice digs JD. I'm glad someone explained the box plates cause I never would have guessed. Those are awesome. And another great seated coin, still waitin on my first one. Is that a skate key?

Nope, different spot than the Oct hunt Nana. JD hit this spot lots of times in the past and just happened to hit the lucky spot this time. There was TONS of iron in here and LOTS of hill walking. Did I mention tons of iron? My old muscles hurt.
