5 GEORGE WASHINGTON INAUGURAL BUTTONS IN ONE DAY! BEST HUNT EVER!(updated pics)

I'm not even sure today was real
Todd picked me up & we went back down to the 1750's home he found his GW at 2 weeks ago.
after about an hour of swingin around the yard I decided to go in the area he dug his.about 5 feet away the tree line was and headed in that direction.got a nice signal dug down a large dandy button surfaced.it was plain.stood up swung and another signal.knelt down dug another dandy.flip it over i see the eagle :O'
stand up same thing.kneel down out pops another.repeat process another! 3 in a 6 inch radius! i was like no freakin way! I figured since they were sold in sets of 4 this was it.


swinging around yard about 100 feet in middle of yard another 58-60 VDI dig down 4 inches another dandy or cloak button.flip it over i'm like this is not possible 4 GW's in the yard plus todds made 5 from this yard.we spent the morning here and after lunch decided to go try a new cellar hole we researched.
get to the site was kinda slow going,alot of big iron,todd got a real cool relic and i decided to go on the opposite side of the cellar hole. workin that area i get a nice 60ish VDI at 5 inches.dig down out pops a nice silver washed large dandy.flip it over and no freakin way! i kneeled there in utter amazement!
i'm staring at my 5th 1789 George Washington inaugural button in one day


I don't know what it was today?If ole George was lookin down on me or the stars were aligned just right? I'll never know.But,one thing i do know is my very 1st GW a few years ago was my most memorable hunt.this this is a tie with the 2nd best hunt alongside my 1793 chain cent.a day i will never forget!

SHAZAAAMMMM!!!!! A little late but finally got online to congratulate you and ask you where you are buying the new house once you sell them... bet if you did that it would be located close to where you dug these. Magazines are probably clamoring for your story. Success stories are always welcome here too. It gives the rest of us the encouragement to tread forth and dig till the cows come home. Again, Congratulations.

5? Since you have so many, can you re-bury one or two to spread the wealth? Kidding aside, definitely a feat not to be replicated any time soon.

Haven't been on here in a while but heard about your find from some mutual friends fellow hunters in eastern ct, Amazing. My one GW is my greatest find so far. 5, and 9 total is Super.!! One other post commented that" all finds after this will be insignificant". That may be true,But rather than be discouraged, I say you have inspired. !!! Had to say Congrats!! And from now on we wont call them GW's. They'll be DW's. Great Job!!. Chuck
