I stopped a a location on my way down to Virginia. Sure glad I stopped at a spot a friend recommended. I dug these four buttons from a pounded field, all within 10' of one another. When I say there were no high signals in this place I mean none...pounded to death. Also there was fill everywhere besides on fertile strip between the two fill spots. All the finds came from there. These buttons showed up as 12-20/21/22, all of them. The other finds for the day was a big ol to bad button, a musketball, and some small buckles.

I posted them earlier on another post and found out they were GW's. Here were all of my finds.

The heraldic eagle with 6 point estoile and square punch border is the variety. The best part is they all have their shanks.

I'm over the moon. I texted Ahab, Bill D, and Vino and all confirm. Wow.
Thanks SwingBeepDig for the spot. I owe you buddy!

Sorry for the not so good pics. I'm on the road in a hotel room in Virginia.

Enjoy!

Steve

Here's the best I can do for pics. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1445428445.730566.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1445428455.379110.jpg

thx bud. I still haven't put together a case for the buttons, but according to legend, these buttons came in sets of 4 mounted to a paper card. What I'd like to figure out is what the card looked like and remount them on the paper for the display.
