It started like any other day this year, finding nothing and watching others dig good stuff. My brother and I had gone to a foundation by the button field that we hadn't hit yet this year. We had little luck and decided to hit "The Button Field", on the way out. We had been there about 20 mins, when my brother yelled out that he found a coin. AAAAAAARRRRGH! Even though I felt happy for him, it went through me like a blade! I walked over and gave my congrats. It turned out to be a nice, early, LC.(I will post it later). As I walked away, I couldn't help but think how crappy this year has been for me. As I stared up from the back corner of this field, that I've been through countless times, it seemed I was staring into an abyss. Where HAVEN'T we done in this field? I thought to myself. Might as well start on the edge and work my way up. Lots of hits, real deep, but mostly iron. About 30 yards I traveled before I got a solid "bottle cap" hit at 4". Once again I figured it was "crap" as it was only 4". As the plug turned over I saw at the edge of the hole, a large button, complete with shank. I could see there was stuff on the obverse, but really didn't want to rub it, so I stuck it in my pocket, as I told Bri I found a large button. About 10 mins later I started really looking at it, turning it different ways, and couldn't believe what I saw. The shield on the front and 2 wings!!!!!!!!! WOW did I let out a scream! HOLY$$#^&%%(*&......."BRI! You ain't gonna believe it" GW INAUGURAL BABY!! About 50 yards from where I found my first last year. Same classification Cobb 17j. I've already examined it, and it's a spot on match! This is the only example with Eagle and Star that has the talon holding the arrows palm up. 
NOW where are the other 2? My guess is somewhere in this field. A place my crew has been over time and time and time and time AGAIN! No place is ever hunted out! My crappy year has now turned 
, with 1 FIND!! On our way out my brother had a few choice words for me. " Why is it that everyone else finds stuff worth $20, and you find the stuff worth thousands?" "You lucky BAS&(*)!" I couldn't help but feel his pain. But Oh how sweet it is! I'm not done with the cleaning yet, as I am taking my time, but I wanted to post it tonight as I am bursting with excitement. So here are the picks. Sorry Don------I forgot to scan it before I cleaned it-- DARN IT!
