I went out with some friends for a few hours...We went to one of my buddies spots...It was all woods and walls :icon_thumleft:
After about an hour of digging cans and shot gun shells i got a sweet tone...1819 LC...I was pretty happy right then...But as it got dark i turned on the head lamp and continued...I decided to stay around the area where i found the LC...Glad i did...I got a loud can signal, figured i should dig it so i wouldnt have to deal with it later...I dug and couldnt believe i was looking at a plate!!! It is a find of a lifetime for me and my favorite find...I took Iron Patches advice and dry cleaned only...it looks great and im EXTREMLY Happy with this plate...As there is a good chance i will not dig a second one... :icon_thumleft:

I'm pretty sure since there already is a 1812 plate on the banner this one will not make it up there... altho it derserves to be there....
 

That there is a beautiful thing! Congrats Brian. You put in the time, and now you can reap the benefits. Banner all the way. :icon_thumright:

Man I love that plate.

Big congrats on a really great relic.

To me those are both Banner worthy! When you say "dry clean" only, do you mean a soft tooth brush? I gotta know cause it cleaned up well.
 

Wow, Congratulations on a Great find. I have found a bunch of War of 1812 buttons and even an
Silver Officers Regimental Button. But I have not found a Militia Plate.

Awesome find!!!

HH, Ringfinder

Banner for sure!!!
 

That is one perfect plate :icon_thumleft: congrats BANNER !! Dd60
