WAR of 1812 US hat plate

[DIRTSWEEPER]

Hey hey fellow treasure hunters, well got a strange hit on my Explorer se the other day and just had to see what it was. Well after digging a pretty deep plug and finding it was still in the hole, I dug a little deeper and could see part of the target. It was pretty mangled and folded so in the pouch until I got home. After a little water and careful unfolding I found that it was a US hat plate from the war of 1812. I myself interested in the war of 1812 was thrilled to have found one indeed. In the past I have only found a few other relics from that time and sure hope I can find a few more. Well thanks much for looking and HH.

Those shako plates are often found like that. If you want it repaired there's guys that can work miracles on such things. Still a great find no matter the condition!

LOL no I was way to young to have known how cool this is. I find it very interesting to live in a place that played a big part in this countries fight for what it is today. I love living here and think the way things turned out is just fine. HH L8R
