Nice Belt Plate found in PA.

I found this New York State Militia Officers sword belt buckle detecting in Williamsport PA on an old indian trail with Paco and VP1. We were detcting down the trail and came across and old creek bed so we decided to mull around a little bit and I got a nice vdi reading. Paco and VP1 came over to watch me dig it. Dug down 10" deep and found this nice brass buckle. It was a great find.

Great find.

Concur it is NY. This one was my Great-great grandfather's. He was in the 9th NY Heavy Artillery, Co. M - no idea if he wore the buckle or just liked it and ended up with it.

A very nice find.

I have one just like it that I found in eastern Virginia at a Yankee campsite. Unfortunately my NY plate had been broken in half, not sure why.... I am currently having mine proffessionally restored by Leonard Short. It is supposed to be finished in a few weeks and I can't wait to see it when it is finished.

You have a very nice and fairly rare US sword plate. Excellent find, congratulations!
