First CW plate!

[birdman]

Hi all, just returned from branching from the hot spot which has starting getting cold. For two hours I dug junk and then I found my first relic of the day which was a three ringer, about a foot away I had another signal which I figured to be more can slaw when from about 8 inches I spy a breast plate with no plow marks!

I have seen these before on Tnet ,youtube,other forums and a friend has one in a display case. I have always wanted to dig one. Today was a good day.
I also found an I cuff button ,some lead and an Indian knife/scraper. Thanks for looking and HH.

Congrats Bird and you will never forget the thrill of digging that really nice breastplate. It's rare to dig one with the hooks not rusted off these days. WTG, Quindy.

I am turning green! that is a beautiful breastplate, congratulations on the first one! Hope you find many more

Thanks all for the nice comments. I did not really realize that this one is considered very nice for a dug plate. Been on the net looking at other dug breast plates . It is going to be hard for me to top this one.

Once you clean it up good Birdman and leave it sitting for a day or two take a picture and let us see her all shiny and ready for battle again!!
