What a Fantastic find, I can't believe the shape it is in. It must have been in a place that never had
been worked by a farmer. Other wise the fertilizer would have ruined it.

Again, Fantastic!!!

thanks everyone for the info some of you shared and thank you for being put on the banner .
the button does not have a back shank and was found in very sandy soil that had good drainage.the site has been detected very hard and there are very few targets to find so you have to be creative and have alot of patience when searching to find anything but the items you do find there are in really nice shape . thanks again Dan

Amazing find - I'm guessing many a collector would be envious of such a great find

Nice George W button.
I wonder if Obama is going to get one of these.

Oh man... that's a sweet find! I gotta get out & hunt now....but my luck I'll just find a George Bush button. I hear they're valuable

Dan, thanks for posting on dfxonly and getting me to check in here (been slacking for several days).

PHENOMENAL! I had only seen the Eagle variety a few times here. Glad the ground was good to this beauty!

I get goose-pimply finding a 120-yr-old sleigh bell; it'd prob. kill me if I dug up an Inaugural button.
I know you're having a ball with this, as well you should. Congratulations!

LO O T E R !!!! Criminal, lousy detectorist defiler. Put it back in the ground for the Archaeologists to find someday ?? You must realize that you have ruined an archaeological site??

One which would never have been found?

Sheehs, this is a prime example WHY detectorists should be allowed reasonable rights in detecting. If It were up to many of the Archaeologists, and present laws, it would never have been found.
