yesterdays hunt, G.W. button "up date"

I got to get out yesterday for a couple hours with my mom. We found several buttons and I got my first whole buckle but have not cleaned it yet I'm afraid the middle will fall apart but I will try later. I found a neat button with George Washington on the front near ware I found my 1774 half reale last year. No coins this time unless you count a 1918 wheat. HH!!

I sent a pic of my G.W. button/cufflink to Heritage Auctions and they said it was very rare and worth as much or close to my stamp act/Pitt button which they said was worth between 3500-5500. So I found to four figure buttons in 6 months . Hope I get the G.W. inaugural button next lol.

$3500-$5000+ for a button. Wow!! Um...I like buttons and all, but That would be 2 high end detectors if I had it. I would Sell Sell Sell!! Thats just me. It is a really cool find. Anything that has ole George on it is sweet.

I think that is cleaned. Probably not a good idea to mess with it. I think if the picture quality was better it would pop much more.
