Poor Breast Plate

Only if our finds could talk.

I wasn't even thinking I would find anything civil war related. But when I think about it, this house is on a route that would have been heavily traveled during the Civil War.
 
Those guys on "Diggers" would have had the complete story made up on the breastplate before it came out of the ground! :laughing:

When I dug mine up a couple weeks ago, I also thought it was a mason jar lid. I'm amazed I didn't mangle it getting it from the ground.

Regardless, great find. Love the 2-Cent! Is that a small "In God We Trust" motto? The small motto 2-Cents are rarer and have more collector value.
