1789 George Washington Inaugural Button

[Brian W]

Woo Hoo Finally.. Got out on sunday for what turned out to be an EPIC day...Fog and I headed to a spot we have been thinking about for quite a while...About one hour into the hunt I get a sweet tone and start to dig...I saw a round green disk in my hand and noticed it was a dandy button *shank missing* Flipped it over and knew right away it was a GW Inaugural button...I ran over the hill to tell Fog, I was so pumped. I have dug plenty of dandy buttons and always hoped I would get a GW...And it finally happened...I haven't even cleaned it yet but I don't want to ruin it...I was thinking I had the best find of the day locked up *beat a GW button seriously* ..Then Fog pulls a Major coin to steal my thunder lol....I couldn't be more happy with this button...Thanks for looking Brian W.

Problem with treasurenet is they have a like button, but not a love button. What a great find. Sign me as jealous.

Wow....I would like to thank everyone who voted for this button.... It was high on my list to get a GW button...never really thinking it would happen.... It was a pleasant surprise seeing that GW on front as I have plenty of plain dandy button's.... I feel very lucky to have this great piece of history in my collection... Thanks again Brian W
