The lead weights are also used as curtain weights. I have a lot of them. The smaller ones were used for buttons also. Nice video/

OMG.........CCH, that's one heck of a find. I would have had to change my pants if I would have found that. Great video and thanks so much for posting. It's like being there while I'm sitting here in the warmth of my home. Thanks EJ! Nancy

Super nice...............maybe make it into a personal belt buckle. I know its a artifact but I would smooth off the edges...polish her up. Would look awesome as a belt.

That would ruin it completely.


Nice find. Got a US belt plate myself last year.

 

[TerraDigger]

Death....lol......I knew someone would say that. Luckily its in Cajuns hands.

Here is a picuture of it cleaned (with warm water, soft toothbrush and dishwashing detergent) as it lies peacefully in one of my display cases. It has been officially retired. Thanks for all of your comments. Sorry , no modifications to any sort of personal belt buckle. LOL. Happy Thanksgiving. CCH

Awesome plate! Wish I could find some Civil War stuff around here.

This should get you pointed in the right direction for Southern IL history in the Civil War.
