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 :laughing9:
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! :headbang:
Digging & holding a George Washington inaugural button from 1789 is just a feeling you can't describe!

Congrats HMN ! :headbang:

Welcome to the GWI club ! :notworthy:
As you've already been told search that area again ... GW's were wore on a ribbon and if the knot came undone they normally lost more than 1 button.

I still go back down memory lane and remember the day I dug mine .

D :notworthy:

That's incredibly awesome. But, is it me, or did you clean the patina right off that beauty?
