Great job on the video Nick! Some nice finds you got there. I like the French coin best. Although the MVM plate is sweet too. Great first year.

That MVM plate blows everything right out of the water.

Nick it could be Civil War related ( possibly a belt buckle a union soldier would wear) i need to see a good clear phot of the back and front to confirm it .

Here's a front and back photo.

hey Nick thanks for the pictures , how thick is the piece ?? just thinly stamped brass or is there a little beefy would it be easy to bend in half??

[sniffy]

Thats odd, I thought there would at least be 3 prongs on the back.....wonder what this thing represents.

It's pretty thin! and small too.

Nick i think you have the front part to a square beltplate it was probably brazed ( similar to soldered) on . you could clean the back real well to see if the brazed marks are there , yours would look like this if it was all there in one piece .

Yeah, I'll definately do that when I get back to my dad's on Thursday. I haven't even cleaned the dirt off the plate since finding it.

great job for 2011. A very good year.I hope that plate is part of a mass volunteer buckle. That would be the highlight of any collection. thanks for sharing. |:cheering:
