Sweet waist belt plate! :happy3:

You were well informed........... when told it is very rare!!!!!

The lead solder in the back looks to be a bit unstable and prone to crumble. Please handle this with care! There are professional relic restoration experts, that could do an excellent job of repairing the small face crack, and stabilizing the back. This is a valuable relic, so care for it well. ;D

Holy cow!
Very nice.
I agree with CC Hunter-please look into how to best care for that beautiful relic. You may never get another of those.

Do you remember where that one hit on the VDI?

Yes yes the banner vote is in
 

Nice Find. Marylands Eastern shore has some very good history. I know I detect it all the time live here. Right before the 4 of July last year I dug a 1793 Chain cent from the shore. Grats on a Banner find and if you ever want to hook up and detect let me know. I go all the time. You find any reale's or old silver from the farm yet? I'm sure there are some there. :icon_thumleft:
 

I don't remember ever seeing one of these on here before. congrats!! Banner! :hello2:
