Went back to the GW Button site and I saw some pie crust!

Woke up with a turkey dinner hang over, just too much food. Got off to a late start and then getting to the site I didn't have a pouch, pinpointer, nor even a shovel! So back home to get everything and back to the site to dig iron, and lots of it I dug. Then came that sweet sound and I'm thinking there it is I see some pie crust edges and carefully I flipped it out of the plug to see a dude sitting there looking thoughtful. Just realized that the guy lost his bird in the tree, how cool! Got a couple of other signals and then this truck came through the gate and drove right up to me. It turns out to be the permission's brother that owns 50% of the land and he has no knowledge of me digging there.
He says to me "there's another site over on the other hill that a blacksmith shop was located on and a well". Thank you sir. Off I went to dig a few bits other things, pewter locket frame, a pin back off a brooch, and a bunch of iron tools in a hour of walking around the new site.

That's a beautiful looking button Jim, I knew it was something special when you sent me the pic after you dug it!

This is definitely the star of your hunt though buddy!

Thanks Dave I was happy with the button and the little folding frame as well.
Have you got your coil dirty yet?

Nice finds! Congrats!

The button is in great shape. I also like the hinged frame.

Great finds! I was wondering what the guy said to you when he drove up. Turned out for the best in your favor. Know there will be a lot of iron but a blacksmiths shop was a popular place back in the day! Very unique button, congrats!

Thank you dh

I'm not sure which place has more iron the GW Button side or the new side of the pasture. Being a 1/4 mile apart it's not the same business but they both loved iron. The second site I dug 3 axe heads and other implements in a small area so it must be the BS shop.

Great post Jim! I really like that locket. Like Bill, I also thought it was brass until I saw your follow up pictures. Man, that thing really held up well. Nice hunt
