A DREAM COME TRUE........ G.W. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Well Gary (foundation hunter) scooped me up this morning and headed to a new colonial cellar hole site. Right away we noticed relics piled on rocks and my hopes went down for me on this site as far as finding anything significant. I worked the old dirt driveway going up alongside cellar hole and my very first reading was a decent one at 2 inches. flipped the plug over and thought oh cool a cloaker or dandy button! flipped the button over in my hand and saw the oval in center and knew right away what i was holdin! I yelled "hey Gar! got a G.W.!" he was like yeah ok.... like i was pullin his leg
I never trembled holding any of my finds and i can honestly say this had me shaking.
1881 & 1897 IH's ,a 1927 merc and the buttons were all in the driveway area.
i bet whoever hit this spot before may be scowling big time right about now.
one of my best hunts ever!
Digging & holding a George Washington inaugural button from 1789 is just a feeling you can't describe!

Congratulations on the GW button man!
I bet you won't sleep at all tonight. You'll probably just keep getting out of bed and going over to look at it, won't you!?
Why don't you just give in to temptation and tell your wife know that she's sleeping on the couch tonight, because tonight your sharing the bed with George!!!
