🥇 BANNER Cool CSA plate!

[jaymanj]

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.

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

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.

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.

Dang...Dang And Dang!

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.

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.

A rare find indeed! Congratulations. There is a lot of conjecture and writing regarding the CSA and its Masonic connections. See: http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Sentinel-Hidden-Treasure-Confederacy/dp/1416591168?tag=treasurenet01-20
