US Plate and a minnie ball.

a very good day for me. Plate IS bent in the middle. Notice there is leather still in the plate hooks after 143 years.

Backbonz, Congratulations! Were you in a camp area? Were you CW hunting or yard hunting? give us some details. You should be very proud. I would clean the front of it but thats it. You could wipe the front with olive oil and that will help to clean also. Again, nice going! Here are 3 I dug in 4 weeks. Between Nov. and Dec. 05. Previously I had been hunting 10 years, so you never know! Tsgman
