RARE Washington Inaugural Button Found!

A week ago me and my detecting partner Angelo were detecting without any luck and I found a new pile of rocks in the woods. We spent a couple of hours at this 'new' site and had to leave. We went back yesterday and spend 4 hours there with out XP Deus detectors! It is the MOST awesome Metal Detector I have ever used. Over the two days I found a small Batwing buckle 5 large cents 17_ _, 1807, 1810 1817, 1817 - Angelo got an 1818. We got several HUGE silver plated buttons, other HUGE coat Buttons, Tombac Buttons, cast pewter buttons. We also pulled a couple of small brass buckles a wonderful tiny ladies belt buckle, a cool pewter spoon. I found my find of the year so far - one of the rarest Washington Inaugural Buttons around. Similar to WI 14 on page 395 of Albert's Blue Button Book, published in 1976. It was an R-6 3-5 known. It does have the shank but it is flattened on the back. Likely more have been found since then but it is still extremely rare! Photos of it right out of the ground and after it was cleaned! It has a different edge and may be a unique specimen.
