Second GW Inaugural Button!

[Keith123]

Second GW Inaugural Button in less than a month! Two GWI Buttons from the same property! It appears to be the same type as the first one I found 3 weeks ago (GWI 12 with a Heraldic Estoile square punch border). This one is missing it's shank, but I didn't hit it with my shovel this time! Here is the link to my last GWI find GW Inaugural Button, Fugio Copper, & Trime

Congrats on the CW button. Connecticut seem to be the epicenter of GW buttons. That "J" fob looks interesting. Is it silver or just plated?

Nice digs. I like the fob too.

The J fob is plated, it's not silver. There does seem to be a lot of GW buttons coming out of CT. When I dug this one, I threw it in my pouch without taking a second look. I thought finding a second one wasn't even a possibility. When I got home and sprayed it with water I saw the liberty shield and almost passed out.
