Found this Friday... was looking in the field and this was found in the last place I checked before I left. I am so excited. This is the best thing I could ever find. :hello2::notworthy::notworthy: buckle_front.webpbuckle_back.webp

Looks like a masonic symbol in the lower left of the plate on the back, unless it is coincidence.

Did he just say"Cool C.S.A. Plate"?.....more like totally super awesome are you kidding me great spectacular find!!!!. BANNER BABY all the way!!!!

Exactly what I was thinking. Quite literally, the find of a lifetime!
 

What a way to end the year!
As it was said you were def, on Santa's "Good" list.
& the Masonic symbol +++++++.

This is AWESOME!!!!! Congrats!
 

If I had found something that " cool ", you couldn't wash the smile off my face! That is at the top of just about everyone's want list.
 

Congrats JJ on your rare and historic find .. cheers Mick
 

Very nice. And yes that is a mason symbol on the back. Mason's used to wear the badge on their uniforms so if the guy on the other side was shooting and was a mason hopefully he'd shoot the guy NEXT to you, who didn't have a mason badge on. Unusual on a buckle though.
 

Thank you very much for the kind words. I am truly blessed, lucky, and amazed at what I found. I have not really fathomed the enormity of it until the great outpouring from the great people with whom I share this great hobby! Thanks again... I lightly brushed it with a soft-bristle. I will share photos of it soon.
 

I can't stop coming to this thread and looking at that again and again. I am heading out to a, new for me, one hundred acre site tomorrow beside the Potomac river in an area I know there was tons of confederate and union movement. I can only dream that I might find something half as good as this plate in there. Plates are my favorite find but to find a confederate one would just knock my socks off and give me a coronary. 90 percent chance of rain tomorrow but I don't care, I'll be out there until it's dark and if I'm finding good stuff, into the dark as well. That plate motivates the heck outta me.

By the way, I can't wait to see that beauty cleaned up.


Thank you very much for the kind words, brother. I hope you all the best and I have to say I was truly blessed to find this. I am still in shock.
 

Incredible find!! Congrats!!!
 

Do not clean with anything but soap and water.
 

Wow
last thing on my bucket list
congrats
 

You are allowed to search in or near a battlefield? How did you get so frickin lucky? lol

I always look on private land with owner permission. This just goes to show there's still good stuff in the ground anywhere you look around here. This area is a hotbed for both CW and Colonial relic hunting. It is harder to find good spots, as areas are getting developed fast. Good luck to you in your hobby.
 

Congrats on a real beauty
 

What a beauty! Congrats on a well deserved Banner find!

Excellent good find. What a Christmas present. Hope 2016 goes this way for you, all 12 months.
Congrats brother. HH and GL
