Hunted a construction site. Never thought I would find a Civil War relic in Indiana. Seems to be a Union Breast Plate. Thanks for looking.

It looks like a Burnside breast plate. You'd be surprised how far north you can find civil war relics. Soldiers took all there equipment home with them. I got my belt plate at a home site.

Very nice. Civil War stuff will turn up all over the place now. You might find an old training ground there.
