my 11th 1789 George Washington Inaugural button & a 7 copper day*5 coin copper spill

Todd and myself decided to go to a deep site that we found.a good 3 mile hike in.we been putting this site off for awhile now due to the hike but,today we decided to go for it.
took us a good hour to get close to it but along the way we spotted a hole.it was hit real good and only one target came out smack in the middle of the cellar hole.looks like a toasted KGIII.
off to the spot we mapped out.a few buttons.todd got a few coins ,I got a 5 coin pocket spill (huge KGIII Hibernia? a couple matron heads,a braided hair, a classic head half cen tand a lone CT? copper with a clipped planchet.
we were pretty wiped out by 3pm and low on water so,we decided to call it a day.we made the trek back and along the way we took another trail out and what do we see a bran foundation set back behind a pond.
Todd located the homesite up on a knoll.no cellar just a pile of rocks and a couple cut stones and bricks.todd nabbed another copper and I dug my 11th 1789 George Washington Inaugural button.waht a day! was beautiful out 70 degrees,ticks were insane and ran outta water but so worth the long mountainous hike in and out!
Gotta work on a couple coins tomorrow and get that green verdigris off.

Awesome hunt. Gotta wonder why all these GW buttons are showing up recently. One every so often is typical, but you guys are really bringing them up lately.

Dave You're on your way to another record breaking year, next you will get another Chain Cent and then a Half Disme! Congrats on another great hunt. Tell Todd his NJ copper looks like the same variety as your last one, let me know what county, if same as your last one than got it marked. 1786 Maris 14-J, fairly certain despite the crud on the coin hiding some areas, but see enough to be fairly convinced............

5 coppers in one hole, that would be a fun dig.

 

[TNGUNS]

That just ain't right. WAY too much great stuff for one man to find and not feel guilty. Ha Ha.

your going to break that lucky rabbits foot if you keep rubbing it the way you do, 11th GW button? save some for the rest us will ya! GEEEEEEZ

 

[bookfisher]

Wow, that's incredible. Do you think it might be worth hunting other areas in there, say one or two miles in? That much land would keep me busy for years and years. Most of LI is just too developed.
