went back to a different site that me and Gary been to before.not the same site as my last GW .
I was working the lip of the hole.alot of iron around this area but got a somewhat decent signal and thought it was just a dandy or cloak button.towards the end of the hunt i rubbed it a bit and saw a shield.
I said Gary i think I got another GW and he was like yeah ok pinnochio.
it's in rough shape and i'm afraid to even clean this one. it's the chicken eagle variety.
i used a dry toothbrush and put it down.before i ruin it . i'd like some feedback on it if i should use soap,water and the toothbrush or just leave it as is?
look forward to your replies.
thanks,
Dave
Thanks Dan (leddel) for the hot peroxide advice.i didn't know the lettering was incused on these buttons

No, if I wanted to bug him I would have said I've dug 2 Shield nickels (That is true) and everyone knows they beat GW buttons!
 
Congrats on #2 and this one being entirely different makes this find even better! You did a good job of cleaning it and now go find a third variety . ;D
