George Washington Inaugural button

[cavtrooper]

I took my AT PRO for a walk this afternoon to a field that has produced a King George 1/2 penny, an 1844 Canadian Bank 1/2 cent token, and an Indian head that was too toasty to read the date. I have also found a bunch of flat buttons. I had dug one silver looking flat button but other than junk was no having much luck. It was getting a little dark so I started back towards my house when I got a high pitched signal on my AT PRO. About 6 inches down was this big flat button. As I brushed the dirt off, I could see it had a much more ornate design than the buttons I normally find. I thought right away GW inaugural, and when I washed it off I wasn't disappointed.

I have to add that where I found this is an old home site and full of iron junk. I had hunted it with my MXT and my Eagle Spectrum without much luck, but the AT PRO seems to see through the junk.
