GEORGE WASHINGTON Inaugural button!!!!

[Hvactech19]

I’m still shaking, I pulled this out of the ground about 2 hours ago.

Tiny 10x15 if that foundation that my awesome uncle and I dug up a while back with mini Excavator, where I found the Woods 1723 penny.

Today I went over to his house and said I will trade manual labor for his time in the machine again. So after 3 hours of moving logs and such. We went over to the site. He used his Kubota and started digging. After only get nails and a small piece of lead after digging for close to 1.5 hours. He shut machine down and said you know, these people were poor and we probably found all we’re gonna get from this site. I agreed but kept swinging away, 5 minutes later. I got a SCREAMING signal on the nox(21-23). I looked at my uncle and said this is definitely something.

Out came my first GW button.


Unbelievable, never give up.

Congrats on the awesome button-and welcome to the club.
Mini excavator and a cellar hole dig out. Love it!
It's probably up there with building a mini screener -put both together and I'd be a happy camper til the bones were laid to rest.

Thinking it's the same type as the one I found (profile pic) Except yours is so complete, which makes me think of a future game plan for the GW site.
