    A DREAM COME TRUE........ G.W. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well Gary (foundation hunter) scooped me up this morning and headed to a new colonial cellar hole site. Right away we noticed relics piled on rocks and my hopes went down for me on this site as far as finding anything significant. I worked the old dirt driveway going up alongside cellar hole and my very first reading was a decent one at 2 inches. flipped the plug over and thought oh cool a cloaker or dandy button! flipped the button over in my hand and saw the oval in center and knew right away what i was holdin! I yelled "hey Gar! got a G.W.!" he was like yeah ok.... like i was pullin his leg
    I never trembled holding any of my finds and i can honestly say this had me shaking.
    1881 & 1897 IH's ,a 1927 merc and the buttons were all in the driveway area.
    i bet whoever hit this spot before may be scowling big time right about now.
    one of my best hunts ever!
    Digging & holding a George Washington inaugural button from 1789 is just a feeling you can't describe!
