Wow Buddy, GREAT plate, congratulations! And never say "ONCE" in a lifetime, there's more out there! LOL, but I know what ya mean! :headbang: :hello2:
 

3 great confederate plates posted in 3 days! :headbang: Quite a day you had! :thumbsup:
 

WOW!! The sooner you brush the dirt off of this one and repost the pic.... The sooner you'll see that one on the BANNER!!!!

Congrats on an awesome puppy paw buckle :hello2:
 

A little more of a story to go with that Stellar find and I'll vote BANNER on it. The plate has EVERYTHING going for it--including the presence of all the hooks. The face of it looks a little odd, so I'll have to do some looking into that. It isn't the thin, Tennessee style plate--but might be the Atlanta style one... But it looks genuine to me as of now.

GREAT find!


Now get that story written so this can go up top! :headbang:
 

After doing some checking, I believe this is the Atlanta Arsenal style cast rectangular C.S.A.

That's quite a FINE $2500.00 find. :thumbsup:


Cheers,



Buck
 

That is one sweet looking find! :icon_thumright:
 

Awesome. I live in Tennessee and I have yet to find a CS plate. And this one was found in Illinois. I wonder if it was a war souvenir that some one lost. Great find. Banner for sure.
 

I also vote Banner for this Fantastic Find!!! Congratulations

One time a good friend of mine and I were hunting a soon to be new school site. They were
tearing down many old houses. My buddy was hunting a hill of dirt when he got this signal. He pulls out what he thought was a Budwiser Beer Buckle. I looked at it and told him it looked like
a Civil War buckle. Sure enough it was a Officers Sword Belt plate in very good condition. By the way, we were hunting in the Great State of OHIO!!

You just never know what you will find.

Again, Congratulations
