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

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

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

    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!!!!
