well Gary(foundation hunter) scooped me up this morning and headed to a new site. we noticed relics piled on rocks and hopes went kinda went down of finding anything decent at this site.i worked the old dirt driveway going up alongside cellar hole and my first reading was a decent one at 2 inches.flipped the plug over and thought oh cool a cloaker or dandy button! flipped the button over in my hand and saw the oval in center and knew right away what i was holdin. :shock: I yelled "hey Gar! got a G.W.!" he was like yeah ok like i was pullin his leg :lol:
i never trembled holding any of my finds and i can honestly say this had me shaking.
a 1881 & 1897 IH's ,a 1927 merc and the buttons were all in the driveway area.
i bet whoever hit this spot before may be scowling big time right about now.
one of my best hunts ever! :D
digging & holding a George Washington inaugural button from 1789 is just a feeling you can't describe!

Hey a BIG congrats on that Once-in-a-Lifetime find. Now you can go to Vegas and try to sell it at Pawn Stars shop. LOL No seriously, that is a fantastic button and you are now the envy of the whole FMDF. So, what's left on that wish list of yours? Dreams DO come true and yours did today. Again, congrats and good luck on future hunts. : )
 
Congrats Heavy, if anyone deserves it you do, with all of your hard
work and devotion to this hobby.I am happy for you man.
