Civil War relics?
Been 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.

AWSOME finds! That butt stock tho!!
Nice! I live for relics and in my opinion those are some good ones. No clue about the plate but unless my eyes are playing tricks almost looks like a, man on a horse?
Yeah, I love the relics. My wife thought the doll leg was creepy. She tells me a ghost is going to follow some relic home with me. 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.
Oh boy...this one will send me down a rabbit hole of conversation...quickly. Lol.
lol thats funny!! it's wild to me so many have had experiences and just don't talk about it.
