91St COPPER & MY 4TH GEARGE WASHINGTON INAUGURAL BUTTON

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out on another hunt with Todd(Thiltzy) to a couple sites he found.
1st site was pretty hammered,then we wandered up the hill to find another site.we saw all the walls and 2 square piles of stones.possible chimney piles.thinking this must have been a cabin site because no cellar hole was dug.buttons started poppin almost immediately.tombacs,a pewter button,and mostly early one piece buttons.i nabbed a connecticut copper as well.when i dug one of the large dandy's i showed Todd & I said it looked like it was in a fire.
cleaning up the buttons I save the 4 large dandy's for last.the burnt one i was scrubbing with the brass brush and saw the arrows clutched in the eagles talon :O'
what a shame out of all the buttons i dug today this is the one that ended up in a fire ,
and the blob of silver slag or whatever metal it is almost went in the garbage dirty,why i decided to scrub it i'll never know but it has a partial imprint of a large cent on it 8(
was a real fun hunt with Todd & look forward to going back to this site with him

From one Dave to another, nice finds. 91 coppers in a year is incredible, I used to set my goal at 24 and usually ended up with 30-40 and thought I was doing good The CT looks like a 1786 and it's hard to tell from a picture but I think there's room for improvement on the GW. It seems like most of the detail is there, look at the 5:00 position, might just have to get the scale off it. PM me if you'd like to discuss a few things you might try..... Dave

I dug an English livery button that looked like that in a farm field. Drop it in a little vinegar and keep and eye on it. Mine cleaned up real nice and revealed almost all the detail.

i'll try it but this is metal scaling on the button from being burnt
