- These plates were used by militia units before the
Civil War. When the war broke out these sturdy plates

of this recovery is unknown but it is a beautiful

5. Breast Plate from The
Wilderness - This Union breast plate was dug on
private property at the Wilderness. This plate shows
signs of being in the fire that broke out during the
battle. The lead in the back of the plate has melted and
pooled over to the right side. The face also shows signs
of being consumed by fire at one time. This plate was
not dug in a fire pit. It was dug in a battle area along
with many others items lost in the heat of the struggle.
This is a relic with a story to tell. $75.00
