back yard brings happy dance!!

[prolab69]

Well after I found the 1820 LC overstamp in my front yard I just knew there had to be something else in there someplace. I started in the front yard and worked my way to the back. I couldnt pick out anything between all the iron so I ran it on full Disc. about 2 hours later after digging the typical nonscense I find this belt buckle at about 3-4 inches down. My heart skipped a few beats when I saw the US. also found this lock that says 1850 or 60. heres the pictures, enjoy.

NO WAY!! That is an Awesome buckle. I'd pick every piece of iron out of that yard. Super congrats.

Whoa, Let me get this straight. You found a US Civil War belt plate in your yard, in NY ?!?
That awesome! I guess there is hope for me finding a Civil War artifact after all.
One of those belt plates would make me very happy.
I would be digging the Iron too, after I was done with everything else.

I'd be hunting in ALL metal mode and dig everything to clear that yard!!! you never know what you may be missing till you clear all the junk, dig it all man, it is your yard, you have the time.

Excellent buckle!! Now it's time to grid off your yard. Work it in 3 ft by 3ft
squares, and clean them out. With large cents in the front, and CW buckles in
the back, you are almost certain to find some other excellent goodies!!!

just like today army vets wore their uniforms home from war ---clothes were not wasted back then --like today folks used em --so if you have a civil war era home area you have a chance of civil war related stuff being there --lost / damaged while on leave or after coming home -- by its owner --or in action that occured there many small skirmish actions were 20 or 30 men scouting parties bumped into one another occured often with little or no "offical" record of them in many cases esp in the south
