[chainsaw]

Today my buddy found a Killer George Washington button !! Still can't believe it. I have been finding more and better stuff latley but today he kicked my butt. I am proud for him....

Tell your friend CONGRATULATIONS, and welcome to the G.W. Inaugural Club. Found mine last October. That is in fantastic shape. Finds by friends do not make the banner though.(that's small consequence) Incredible Find.........Hogge

Thanks for all the information guys... I did not post many details about the find on purpose. Mitch (my detecting buddy) is signing up on this site so he can post a story and some more pics.

Great find!!! I'll be watching for your friend's thread and hitting the Banner button there. Make sure his pics are uploaded to T-Net for Banner qualification.

Can you give us a little better idea of what part of this great earth it was found on?

Tell your friend congratulations.

Found it, It will not Make The Banner.

Fantastic piece of history!!!

That is really nice. It actually looks like silver. I don't know much about these other than what Iv'e learned here but I don't remember seeing a silver one before.

I too think it's silver... I am waiting for him to reply back to my first post to see if it is silver

 

[Iron Patch]

That is one I'd love to put in my "good button" case! I hope he hangs on to it, the money goes fast!

 

[Iron Patch]

Very nice G.W. !! I have dug one myself. Your buddys button is a little better than mine though.

I cant help but wonder, how many G.W.s are left to be found

Once again very nice button, VPR


P.S. Post a pick of the button in the G.W.Button threat in "best finds"

I'd bet a lot! Like I've always said, just because something is rare, doesn't necessarily mean it's rare in the ground and we have proved that point on quite a few things in my area.

Can't get much better than that. Your buddy did good. Too bad he wasn't a full member because it is banner worthy.

Wow, Congratulations to your friend and Thank You for posting his find. I would put it in a button holder and not touch it too much.

HH, Ringfinder

Great shape and Banner find!

Did you know that those "Dandy" buttons were not just mass produced and shipped out to just any Joe shmoe?

Those "Dandy's" would have been handed to you from George himself.

That button your holding...most likely touched Georges hand .

Big time history there buddy.
That button is could be worth a lot of money. If I'm not mistaken, That button was made for one day. The inauguration. Crowds were cheering and chanting waving these buttons! You can learn a little more about these buttons on this video. Forward the cursor when the video boots up to 00:15:00 ---> http://tvshack.net/tv/Pawn_Star_/season_2/episode_6/ Y
