An opportunity to hunt a property with a home built in 1771 here in Massachusetts just dropped into my lap. In just the first few hours I made the find of a lifetime -- a pair of George Washington inaugural buttons, and an extremely rare variety thereof! The homeowner let me keep one of them, plus a handful of other flat buttons I found.
In addition I found a beautiful object that looks like a brooch or a ladies scarf clip (no idea what it is, can anyone help me?), a large monogrammed plate (either says LL, or TT, or JJ, does anybody know what this is?), a small heart pendant, a handful of modern change. What an amazing day!
I cannot wait to go back... pictures follow:
All flat buttons fresh out of the soil, two GWI's on left:
