When me and my wife came up with the idea of creating bucket lists for the upcoming year, neither of us actually believed she would find her top bucket find. With her birthday coming up in 3 days I talked her into going for a few hour hunt.

After a very successful day which included an unknown large flat button we headed for home. After some cleaning of our finds we realized her flat button was very unique, having some gold guilt and eagle with shield design.

Initially we believed it to be an early militia or military button, soon we discovered this button is a "George Washington Inaugural 15A Federal Eagle With Morning Glory Above New Nation Tribute" button.
