I have been working a new cellar hole. I never thought I would have found this!6434764348

In my little corner of the world!

Holy Moly is right! :omg: That's a great find!! Huge congrats on a special addition to your collection!

[rharris]

Thanks!
I am still absolutely stunned. I never thought I would see one except in a museum. To have found one is crazy cool!

[Donnie B]

I agree. Holy Moly!

The look on your face when you saw this in the hole must have been priceless. Huge congrats on a great find...:notworthy:

Wow, Great find... the only other one I've ever seen was on Hoover boys..Congrats!

Awesome! That is once in a life time find! I was fortunate enough to witness one of those dug up by my buddy back in Ohio in a field.

[The Rebel]

Out freekin standing! That's a find of a lifetime!

[Noah]

I'd have to buy a cowboy hat just so I could wear that beauty. Any history on it? Military? :happy:

[rharris]

Yes,
It is a Civil War officers sword plate. I may be able to identify the owner.

[Noah]

Figuring out the name of the owner, long dead of course would be so amazing. Great job!

[calabash digger]

WOW! That's a killer relic.

[badgers325]

I know what I said when I found a Barber half dollar. I would have had to go to church if I would have found that dynamite relic. Congrats!!!!

[Noah]

I'd keep digging in that same area. Awesome!!!

[calabash digger]

That is on my hitlist! Congrats...

[Full Metal Digger]

How did I miss this thread back in May???? What an AMAZING find!!! It is so beautiful and has such a nice patina to it. Do you still take it out every day and smile at it? LOL. I know I would. I'd probably make my wife wear it on her forehead so I could look at in bed too!

[rharris]

I have this mounted in a display box right next to my recliner. I can look over my right shoulder to see it. I find myself smiling every single time I see it. It is wonderful!

[Digger_O'Dell]

Wow, incredible find! Yeah, Hoover boys found one, but it wasn't nearly as nice. Huge congrats!
