Had an amazing day hunting at one of my favorite sites with SouthJerseyJim and his Mom, our secret weapon. See Jim's banner post for more pics. There were signals everywhere in the newly plowed field. I hit a high copper signal and out came the 1745 KG looking good. Buttons and more buttons for all with odds and ends including another well worn George ll. Jim held up something and yellled over, GW button and read the button, Long Live The President. It was special seeing the disbelief and excitement on his face as he held up his first of the GW's, we were all high fiveing each other in disbelief. Another signal and one of my wish list buttons arrived. The third GW button of the day with the shank intact, WOW... What a exciting day for all of us... Long Live The President, gotta love it.

I'll say. I couldn't wait so I texted Jim. Can wait to see his post. You guys are crushing it out there!!
 

Can you say Painkiller! Man Im tired. Beautiful finds Art and a ONCE in a life time find with that super rare GW!! Something like 10+ known in that variety and a prive over 5k will push that banner button from me! Exquisite day sir.:occasion14:
 

ok, where there's three there has to be four! :laughing7:
 

I can only imagine digging a Copper in that condition here on Long Island. Also, congrats on a fantastic GW button. That one is on all our wish lists!
 

Don't know what to say. You guys had one hell of a hunt and I congratulate you!
 

Congrats on the fantastic finds :thumbsup:
 

You found a good site, go deeper. best wishes to you.
 

I am still on cloud nine just being there and seeing this happen! I am glad that I could be your secret weapon again:):) Again thanks Arty for the invite and I am so happy that you got to find a find of a lifetime!!!!!!! Hopefully one more to find, just hope I can find it an experience the thrill! Will post my finds later on.
 

Now that I have seen Jim's post I am in awe of you guys! Now I guess the question remains...who will find the matching 4th button!!!
 

Trust me if Arty thinks like me (and he does) He was back there at sun up! I would
 

Wow! That GW is a great find. Congrats!
 

Unbelievably cool, especially to a West Coast guy. I'll never make a crack about New jersey again, I promise!
