[civilman1]

I finally was able to get out and do some diggin' yesterday,40 deg. heat wave.Most of the ground is still frozen but you have some pocket's that you can get through.I finally got my hand's on a complete lock plate.I've found a hammer and tumbler before but nothing like this.Right now it's getting zapped,still trying to ID it....any thought's?? Thank's for looking

***This is about all I'll do on this piece.Turned out OK but it did lose some like I thought.Thank's for looking ***

Congrats Joe! Great find. Looking forward to seeing it after you cook it. I dug my first one (Springfield) last year. Ever since that time I have been digging those rusty targets. Got the buttplate last week.
Keep us posted,
Dug

It came out good Joe. There are CW weapons experts on Tnet and I am NOT one of them. My best guess is that plate went on a Model 1842 Springfield. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Heck, I'm still trying to i.d. the pistol bullet that I found when Dman, Josh, and I hunted today. HH, Quindy.

It really turned out nice . Can't wait to see it on a wall in our relic room. Weather is looking good for this weekend, can't wait to get out and swing.
