(This is all I can show of the dig at this time) Ok I'm still flying high from the John Adams button I dug last week . They say lighting doesn't strike in the place twice, well it struck today again . I got ANOTHER new permission yesterday and went there today and out popped this beauty! I cant believe I have dug two great pieces of history in the last week. I got it on video too but it will be awhile before I post that don't wont anybody getting any ideas ! I cant believe it............ I finally joined the Washington club. This is another priceless treasure to me . Thanks for looking.

Congrats on scoring the GW sir! That is on almost everyone's bucket list. I know that you are thrilled, and rightfully so. Wow.

I like it when you find something so good, that a '55 half dime doesn't rate a mention!

That button would so cool up top, but I'm not sure you can have two banners at once. I guess we will see, huh?

Again, big congrats and best of luck to you.
 

Sweet find! I am with Carolina Tom...Ho Hum and I found this old coin :hello2:
 

You killed it again!! This button is on pg.396 of Albert's button book. It is listed as WI 20-A. On the GW button website it is known as GWI-20-a. I spoke to the owner of the GW site, and he thinks it could still carry a rarity of R-6. (3-5 known)

If you are going to enter the GW club, you may as well do it with a holy grail rarity!

WoW WoW WoW Amazing find! Congrats. Twice in a week with two great rare pieces of history. I am soo jelly. :weee:
 

Welcome to the club! WOW you must be floating just about now with this great piece of history on top of the other Banner find. Congrats on the GW Button and here's to your 2018 season.:occasion14: You're setting the bar high for us northern folks that's for sure.
 

Awesome find- congrats! Looks banner worthy to me....
 

I am at a loss for words! Congratulations on yet another outstanding rarity!
 

You better play the lotto !

You are not only a skilled metal detectorist
But you are also one heck of a lucky man to be in the right place at the right time TWICE.

I bet you are making many of our members that live in the frozen tundra jealous of
Your opportunity to still be able to detect.

Yiu deserve a double thumbs up my friend!

Just bought 4 tickets and I don't play the lottery!
 

Yes you are on a roll.
Awesome button.
Are you using the higher frequency coil?
 

Awesome button!! Congrats on a great piece of history! Your getting some nice top shelf finds to start the year. Keep it up! Banner vote going in. You can't help you found two great finds.
 

With buttons like that one (and the last one) who needs coins? Congrats!
 

Thanks for the comments, ive seen days where that coin was top notch but today it plays second fiddle! Yes I using the HF coil.
 

Now that's a rare beauty.
 

Banner all day long, congrats on a rare find sir! makes me want to go dig in the mud. I was laughing after watching the video I seen a half dime with nothing about it. Seated takes a seat behind a GW button any day, sweet stuff right there.
