Well, first great find of the day was this sliver of a U.S. beltplate. I knew what it was right away but still took a moment to sink in.
The below picture doesn't quite match up but you get the idea.
 
Second is my breastplate before cleaning.
When I dug this, I had dug three mason jar lids right next to it. Lots of trash but glad I took the time!
 
Here it is cleaned up a bit. Some bored soldier decided to stab this eagle to death... <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":("> Bummer, but still an amesome find!
When I dug it, I didn't do any chicken dance... I was totaly stunned, just stood there staring with my heart zooming.
 
Last, here's a view with different lighting.
Thanks again to Mike from Balto for his research!!! Riding his coat tails again. And thanks to Joe in MD for getting permission.
