Civil War relics?
Quote from 67GTA on August 12, 2020, 12:31 amBeen hunting a mid 1800's house close to me that disappeared in the early 20's. Not much modern trash and all the items I've found are early to mid 1800's. Never had electricity. Probably an older colonial couple that never modernized. I'm beginning to wonder if one of the occupants wasn't a civil war veteran. Found where maybe a small shed would have been behind the house site and dug up some interesting stuff. Found a copper plate that had been hit by a plough and what looks like the bottom part of a brass stirrup. The plate is approximately 8 1/2 inches across and 1/2 deep. Also found a barrel tap, gun stock butt plate, and porcelain doll leg in the same hole. Can anybody identify the plate? Can't find any markings. There were a lot of different types used from what I can find on the internet.

It's just an optical illusion. It was almost a taco. I straightened it out as much as I could looking for any kind of marks or stamps to identify it with.

Years ago I had a paranormal experience while metal detecting. It was I believe related to the button I had just dug up. Since then, after telling my story many relic hunters have come forward to me to share with me their paranormal metal detecting story!

It was crazy to me that I've dug thousands of relics and then having that experience. Nothing like it before or since and I had never thought about it before that incident.
What was really crazy to me was that so many people who detect that I shared my story with then felt comfortable sharing their story with me.
