Did a major happy dance when I pulled this out of the ground, it was only about 4 inch's down and seems to be in great shape.
Also had to leave a bullet in the ground..... Found a great signal about 20 yards from this plate, went and cleared some shrubs and started to dig not knowing that some ground bee's were about 8 inches from the shovel, one got me good on the temple and 3 others attacked my hat and shirt, I got out of there awful quick! So that one can wait till winter.
Also found a 1892O dime in great condition with the word liberty still on the headband.
Only found 7 bullet though, 5 were shot.
Now if I can only find a Buckle!
