Scratch One Off The Bucket List, part 2

[SpacemanSpiff]

I returned to site where I found the breast plate and all those bullets. Last time I found 39 billets and this time I pulled 23, along with a lot of camp lead, a few rivets, and some modern clad. Today I finally found a button - not a Yankee but a Confederate block “I”... and ANOTHER breast plate! The button was found in the middle of an old road bed (in the middle of all the other stuff) and the breast plate about 75 feet from where the first one was found. Still no Yankee buttons! I added pics before and after cleaning. Also added the other plate - both are in excellent shape front and back! Enjoy!
