The Quest for a George Washington Inaugural.....................

[Kirk PA]

will passionately continue.

KKC got out to a new site on Saturday. We located an iron patch in the corner of the horse pasture that indicated to us that it was of Colonial origin. We got a handful of Colonial buttons, but a coin was not going to show up. We are thinking that we located an outbuilding to the 1700s home that is higher up in the field (a road cuts through the pasture). The farmer gave us permission to hunt it after the harvest. I have a feeling that we did not locate the yard of the house, so we will search for it later in the year. From the artifacts dug at the site, it definitely has occupation dating back to the 1700s.

My take for the day was this 1790s Dandy button. It was dug at a depth of 7". When I flipped it out, I gasped, thinking, could this be a GW Inaugural? One of these days. One of these Colonial days. It is still another welcome addition to my collection.

Keep the passion high!

Kirk

That button is sure a dandy!

I have found a few similar ones and said the same thing. My last one was broken in half and I said out loud to myself, "with my my luck, this is going to be the one!" Haha.

It is still high on my list (with many other items). I told my buddy that when I find one, I am selling my equipment and retiring from metal detecting!
