Back to the Plate!
That silver plate is a huge piece of history that had been buried for 220 years! It’s such an incredible discovery and piece of American and Boston culture that will be added to the text books. Since Paul Revere was such a renowned silversmith and engraver, that would explain why the note was engraved within the silver plate! This plate is a direct piece of work to the Paul Revere. Hatchfield and Comaeu were literally discovering and holding a gigantic piece of American history, just by the sole fact that this was a piece of Revere’s silver.
