WOO HOO ANOTHER 1789 GW BUTTON! UPDATE CLEANED

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

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

Nice job yet again Dave! Two thumbs up from NJ

The heated hydrogen peroxide works like a charm. The only advice I was given when I found my GWs was DO NOT get saliva on them, don't even breathe on them, it will destroy the buttons. It kills me to hear about (and see) guys spit on their finds to clean them.

Again...well done!

thanks Rick! i don't see how those would affect the button.sitting in the ground under those conditions seem far worse than a little spit? i know saliva is acidic so,i guess that's possible
then again anythings possible

Congrats on #2. Amazing !!!

I think all found GW buttons, regardless of condition, should be an automatic Banner find. The historical significance certainly warrants it being up there where everybody can see it. I would give anything to go back in time and see what that button was a part of. There is a reason why they are the holy grail of buttons. Truly, a piece of our history !!

Oh, and bath tubs sure have come a long way !!!

Congrats again Dave. I look forward to seeing your button on the Banner !!!
