The Cellar Hole of Dreams!

[Donnie B from VA]

I still can't believe it happened even though the evidence is sitting right next to me on my desk. Yesterday, my digging buddy, Danny, and myself, along with two other friends(Dave and Jim), hit a couple of cellar holes on a nice cool day in June. It would have been my Father's 85th Birthday. I think he may have been watching the fun. Danny had an unbelievable day and made some GREAT finds. Jim had a great day too with his brand new Deus. You may have already read about Dave's 13th GW! I dug my very FIRST 1789 George Washington Inaugural Button! That's not all. After that, I dug a SECOND George Washington Inaugural! That's still not all. I also dug a fragment of a THIRD GW Button! All three are the Heraldic Eagle with Estoile variety said to be favored by troops who served under General Washington in The Revolutionary War. What a day!

Great finds. I was lucky enough to dig an eagle with star variety many years ago. Hope to dig another someday !

A cellar hole of dreams is a nice break from cellar holes of despair.

Oh Donnie Donnie Donnie....what the hell are you going to have left on the old Lifetime Finds List? You’ve knocked out a bunch of tough ones already. I hope it continues. Congrats on a fantastic hunt with some good fellas

Once again, just a phenomenal find!! You should have tipped us off a little more in your post title. You'd have gotten a bunch more views and replies... (Not that the number of views or replies validates a find any more or less.. just an observation) Sometimes I'm more selective with the posts I'm checking out if I'm short on time. But I can guarantee you that I've never NOT clicked on a post that mentioned a GW inaugural button. One thing I will almost never click on is a post that in any way mentions the term "honey hole". That's nothing against the term honey hole or anyone who uses it. It's more of a problem I have with the term. I was thinking of seeing a therapist for it but it seems like an odd reason to go see a therapist..... "Cellar hole", on the other hand, is another thing. Cellar hole hunting is definitely my milieu. Ok, I feel as if I've gotten a bit off topic. My main point, just to sum up, is... AWESOME FIND!
