Well i must say this is my best find so far :hello2:
Went back out to my favorite cellar of all time.. last year we pulled over 120 buttons and relics off this site :icon_thumleft:
This time i brought the 5 inch dd coil :thumbsup:
I was sitting here thinking about this site and realized i never hit around the cellar with a small coil :icon_scratch:
So off into the deep woods i went..Right away i started pulling buttons left and right i couldnt believe
what i missed me and my friends have hit this site hard..
Right outside the stairs was a medium sized tree i found a Largie next to last time :icon_thumleft:
I was scraping the leaves away and hit real close to the tree and locked on a solid 79-80..
When i flipped it out i thought it was a foreign coin because i could see writing along the edge but was like wow this is a big coin :icon_scratch:
Then i brushed the dirt and seen the word "President" and immediatelly knew :o
My heart was in my stomach and i paced in circles looking at it :headbang:
It does have some damage and is missing the shank but hey,im stoked 8)
I included some finds from this site last year
After all the people i took here i am so glad i found it :wink:
This is why we do what we do :thumbsup:

Hey thanks man i even said to my friend last year im surprised we didnt find a Washington button out there :laughing7:

With all those big buttons we found there had to been one :wink:

This was a true colonial site settled around 1690 and abandoned around 1850 :thumbsup:

That's fantastic! :icon_thumright:

I'd keep hitting it until there are zero signals - hopefully you can find the match to it.. or a few of them!

Oh, you got my banner vote too! :hello2: :notworthy:
 

Congrats on a great GW button. Now you will just have to repeat the dream and get that same feeling. Banner vote is in. :icon_thumleft:

Very cool find JB. Looks like a great site.

jb, that is an outstanding find, Banner for sure.

You need to keep that small coil thing a secret.
 

Outstanding Blaze :headbang:

That is a nice colonial cellar hole there, lots of nice finds and lots of great memories, and none better than pulling that GW Inaugural :thumbsup:
