    I see the pics.

    Wow, one day I will find a Civil War belt or box plate, maybe.

    Interestingly, the only military plate I've ever found was a rare War of 1812 Light Dragoons plate, possibly only the second or third intact specimen known, so I guess I can't complain. But I still envy the fellas who find CW plates.

    Maybe I'll get a Rev War plate. I'd like that. Somebody found a French breastplate north of here. I think it is unique.
