Amazing fortune the other day.....Im still in shock...1789 GEORGE WASHINGTON INAUGURAL BUTTON!!! Near the top of my BL. Hard to find new spots to detect these days.....so I hit an old orchard where I have previously found only junk and soil looks like it was filled in. I spied a half acre area that looked promising and found all coins and relics in a 150x150 area! Found the GW button first but didn't know what it was until I got home and started to clean it...I thought it was just a Dandy button. Also found colonial buckles and 2 coppers....1795 Liberty Cap large cent and a 1800 Draped bust...crusty but I got dates! The HOLY GRAIL of buttons is in awesome shape with more careful cleaning and preservation ahead. After seeing a few of these found over the years.....Ive been dreaming of finding one....Im completely blown away! HH
