Cleaned up my RARE George Washington Inaugural Button

[RelicHunter97]

Hello everyone!

I'm sure many of you remember my GW inaugural button that I found last Saturday, I know I do!
Well anyways, tonight I got bored, so I decided to clean it up more! (As well as a few other buttons in my case). All I used were toothpicks, Q-Tips, and water. I think it came out rather good! I just love all the detail in this button, from the flower petals to the bars within the letters themselves (which weren't so apparent in my previous post.) I'm still trying to get more information on this button (value, rarity, etc.) so any help is very welcome

For the whole story and the rest of what I found on that hunt, visit my original post: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...elievable-first-hunt-2013-call-me-butter.html

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
