Last Friday I got super lucky and dug my first George Washington Inaugural button at a colonial/pioneer site in the park woods. I only spent 30 minutes at the site on Friday as I sort of freaked out when I found the GWI button.
I made it back on Monday during my lunch break, super anxious to see what else was there. First hole, a nice easy 21/21 signal on the Nox.
Cool, another GWI button, but just a frag. Then another perfect 21 signal and blood pressure shooting sky high...
Oh, man exact size as a GWI, but just a big dandy.
Here is Monday’s super productive lunch hour.
Well of course I had to go back Tuesday.
Man, those big tombacs are heart breakers.
Well, not much to do on Wednesday, why not another lunch hour hike.
Things were slowing down, but contacted some hunting buddies on meeting up there for yet another hunt, SteveInPa was interested and we met up at the site this afternoon. I found a couple more quick flat buttons, then Steve yells over that he just dug an old copper.
Ended up being a 1700’s NJ State Copper! Very cool, Steve’s day is made! I then get a 21/39, 21/-8, 21/15 signal, really deep and pinpointed small. The signal was super jumpy, thought there was a good chance that it would be a chunk of old rusty iron, but decided to dig it, took 2 scoops, about 12” deep.
Hello! Lightening strikes twice!!
Here’s today’s handful.
Oh, almost forgot. I also got my first Cut Spanish!
Made a deal with Steve to trade the GWI frag
for one of his Pistareens. I’m leaning to the Michael Jordan option.
Good luck out there!!
