BP 97 Now this is a really cool relic! I always like dug relics that show how soldiers passed their time, carving bullets or in this case punching holes in a belt plate with what looks like a square nail. Billy dug this interesting piece at Port Hudson years ago and it just turned up stored away in an old medicine bottle. Get the plate and we’ll throw in the bottle for free!
