Third George Washington Inaugural Button

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

I’ve been traveling a lot for business recently so not much detecting lately. Made it out this weekend for a couple hours and didn’t find much.



Then went back to the Colonial site in the park at lunch today. Nothing to show but shotgun headstamps, then a weak 20-21 when swinging over a smaller downed tree. Moved the tree and the signal cleaned up and was a solid 20 almost too loud. Was thinking partial can top, but about 4 inches down.



In the woods I can see the parts of the copy around the edge from a GWI and part of the Eagle Shield. She’s the roughest one, but still a thrill to dig.


This makes 3.5 GWI’s from this site, the .5 went to SteveInPa


Heading down to the Charleston SC 4th of July week, Kiawah Island. I plan on doing some beach detecting at night, but if anyone has a relic site around Charleston and they are up for a partner, send me a PM and I will repay you with some Colonial sites in Pittsburgh... I’ve never dug a CW bullet, on my bucket list....

Wow number 3, they do say things come in 3’s.

Congrats on #3.5. That accounts for all 4 that would have been on the card unless the guy bought multiple cards and made a coat of those buttons

What do you mean 'would have been on the card'? Is this how these buttons were originally sold? I did a quick goog search and couldn't find any images of surviving examples nor really anything about this.

Congrats! I love those buttons, that must be a thrill finding one of them let alone 3.5

Amazing, you may be the only person to own 3.5 of them, congratulations
