And out of my 3rd hole I pop this out. Too bad I nicked it with the shovel getting it out. I thought it was a rock till I saw US stamped on it. We barely got to go through this yard and I'm going back to bring the owner of the property a gift card for Cracker Barrel out of hopes she will let me go back again!

Sorry I can't figure out how to upload pictures. It keeps telling me that it's failed.

You may need to resize your pics. Can't wait to see what you found!

It's a belt buckle, I'll try resizing when I get to the house. Thanks

If you upload to fac book then save the image from Facebook it is usually a size that can be posted here.

CS would have been awesome but I'll take what the ground gives me. Hopefully a CS will pop out soon.

Very cool! Congrats! With the arrowhead style hooks, I believe its a mid-late war issue belt plate. I think the puppy paw style was earlier. If the lead on the back starts flaking off -- they do sometimes when they dry out, you can coat it with Elmer's glue to preserve it. It dries clear, and if you ever want to remove it, just takes water to remove. You are in a great area for CW relics. Hope you dig lots more!
