🥇 BANNER AFTER A BAD START, FOUND 2 OF THE BEST BUTTONS EVER

[petroguy3666]

HI EVERYONE, I HAD A UNEVENTFUL SUMMER AND RIGHT AT THE END OF MY LAST DAYS A VACATION, I FOUND 2 OF MY VERY BEST BUTTONS. I FOUND A GW INAUGURAL CUFF BUTTON AND A MASS REGt BUTTON. THE GW BUTTON IS MUCH SMALLER THAN YOU NORMALLY SEE, ITS ONLY 18MM. I COULDN'T BELIEVE I FOUND THIS STRETCH OF WOODS IN NJ THAT LOOK LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE A WASTE OF TIME, THEN WOW. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS A GW BUTTON TILL I GOT HOME.
I ADDED SOME PICS OF THE OTHER STUFF I FOUND, I ALSO FOUND 2 8PD CANNONBALLS, BUT I THEY ARE STILL SOAKING IN EVAPORUST.
JUST HAD TO SHARE MY DUMB LUCK WITH YOU ALL

Damn man that Rev button is a killer recovery. The GW is nice as well but to me that Rev button is on a different level

 

[Steve in PA]

A pair of buttons like that don't come up very often. Post a picture of the two side by side so we can get them both up top!

Everyone thank you for the kind words, I am still not clear on how i found this spot. I am going back to this spot. It is near shot hills NJ. I think there is a more here to be found. I was finding nothing much for hours and then you start finding buttons and BOOM. In the middle of no where this spot is.
But really THANX TO ALL OF YOU

 

[petroguy3666]

Thanx for the info on protecting this button, I am going to treat it right now.

 

[petroguy3666]

Thanx sprailroad I am going back friday for sure. I am using 3KHz coil for this area. It seems to work well for relics.

GW and a mass reg pewter would certainly make any relic hunters year... Be hard to top those digs. Congrats

 

[Silver Tree Chaser]

Rev. War & GWI buttons are very hard to find. Congrats on scoring two on a single outing. That's awesome. Banner voting now!
