Hey, guys, to get to the point of my post, I hit the "Old Colonial Road" site yesterday. While I was detecting, the farmers were plowing the fields and I was detecting. But, here comes the GREAT part.
I was detecting in an area where Colonials have been found and I came across a button. It wasn't an ordinary button, dudes! Since this field treats buttons and coins very bad, the button is BARELY identifiable...BUT, I, seriously, can see details...it is a George Washington button!!! It is 26.6 mm in diameter and even though a lot of George Washingtons buttons are about 33 mm in diameter, there were ones even smaller.
In the pic, it is verrrrrry hard to see though, but you can see the "dots" surrounding the edge of the artifact...typical of George Washington buttons! Also, with the naked eye, I can see parts of the legs and wings, but like I said before, it is very hard to see. Seriously, it is a George Washington button, BABY!
Check out pics of these buttons and notice the dots around the edges. Mine has them and I can also see parts of the eagle! I found one, BABY! I am in the club!!!!
Oh, I also found 3 musketballs and some flint!
Keep sweeping with the passion!

P.S. The button read at 45-50 VDI...typical for brass targets!
