Tenn. Trio + 1 to SC-Rare GWI button Dug + half Reale

[VOL1266-X]

The Tenn. Trio and honorary Trio member Patrick Stewart traveled to South Carolina last week to hunt with the South Carolina Dirt Diggers on a very large property. We covered well over 5 miles per day in a large pine forest with undergrowth. Doug and I found musket balls and iron relics but Josh finally dug a 1700s Spanish Half Reale. Patrick had the find of a lifetime with a GWI button with plain front. The backmark had Washington & an eagle on it. From research so far, Patrick has found the 7th example known to exist. He is making a better pic soon. Ironically, it just looked like a plain flat front flat button with about 21 mm but the b/m made the difference. My article about our hunt will be published in the May W & E magazine. Enjoy the video. HH, Q.
I hoped to meet Mangrum of TNet at the hunt but we couldn’t hook up due to the vast hunt acreage.

Great video Q and even better finds from the crew. Do you have a picture of the button face even though it's plain?

Congratualtions on the killer button!

I guess, I better start looking over my buttons for a rare or special type; usually just throw them in a large case uncleaned.

Nice finds and enjoyed the video. See this was posted Jan. 22, don't know how I missed it when it first went up.

Awesome button Quindy! I'm voting banned due to the rarity.

Awesome button Quindy! I'm voting banned due to the rarity.

Agree, with finds like that he should be banned. Maybe give him one more chance so find something of less interest.
