went back to a yankee camp ive been hunting for awhile, had found a couple bullets when i got a good tone that sounded different from a bullet, and out pops the soldier carved eagle breastplate, must have had a bit of time on his hands to cut the eagle out of the breastplate, also found a large harmonica reed and a nice GS eagle button as well.

Dang,53 views and no replies. I'm not a big relic person,
but that seems to me like a heck of a find. Congrats!!
 

Wow great find that is the first one I have seen and if you want to part with it I'll give you my address. Lol but way to go

Dig until your arm falls off
 

Awesome score would like to see a picture of the back of it ..
 

Very nice.Congrats.
 

Phenomenal find. Very unique. Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

Amazing & unique find to say the least.
 

added another shot of it, the back is still lead filled
 

That is really unique. You may have the only one like it.
 

that would be sweet haha
 

One part of me hates to see the breast plate not whole and the other part says man that thing has a story to tell! Never seen that ,really has a lot of character. Congrats on a very unique find.
 

Now that is pretty dad gone awesome right there. Don't recall having ever seen that done. Congrats.:icon_thumleft:
 

that's just pretty cool. I wonder if an officer would come down on them for altering part of their uniform?
 

Unique for sure - nice save!
