I dug a pretty good area and down fairly deep did not find any bones so I would say no to the soldier being buried there. Of course that's just my opinion I have some older Civil War hunting buddies that said it could've been in an equipment box and fell off of a boat it's really hard to tell for sure thanks for the comments

Fantastic finds and very intriguing to 'boot'!

Those are some killer finds. I gotta say that seeing the leather and the boot makes the metal objects seem so much more personal.
Leather preserves well, especially if kept moist. Read up on the recovery of the SS Republic ... leather suitcase found at 8k feet deep was so well preserved that they were able to recover a sheet of paper with writing from in between the folded shirts inside.
Awesome finds ... and with two items at the same time a Civil War spill has got to be a bucket list find!!

Wow! Great stuff! Looks like you got part of the cartridge box along with the plate.
It's pretty amazing what they lose too
Congratulations on the incredible finds, imagine if they could talk!
