Hey Everyone! Im still pretty speechless but I was able to get out to one of my favorite spots this evening. The owner gave me permission to do a goat pasture that sits right next to his house so thats where I darted to first. At the far corner of the pasture I got a decent hit on the T2 and out popped this 1789 George Washington Linked States Button!!!!!!!!
The realist in me assumed that it was just a nicely decorated dandy but after closer inspection I saw GW and long live the president around it....My heart just about stopped!! I was less than a quarter mile from home so I called it a day and speed walked home
Its a little bent up but all in all its in fairly decent shape. The shank is still intact and the design is strong! I still haven't flaked all of the dirt off in fear of damaging it. The dirt around here is rough and even water is too harsh for many of my finds. Its hard to believe that horses and goats having been stomping on this thing for over 200 years. This was the only find of the day besides a few pull tabs but it is by far the best find of my 5 years of detecting......
If more or better pictures would be good to include, I would be happy to provide them!
Thanks Everyone,
