OMG....I have no idea but I think you just found something special!

[calabash digger]

thanks, I'm thinking its the best thing I ever found !

[Ken C]

WOW, that is very cool! Congrats! :shocked03:

[Lodge Scent]

Holy Moly Calabash! You could be on to something special there brother.

[Digger_O'Dell]

Wow, never seen anything like it. Very awesome looking find, suspect possible museum piece! Try contacting your local museum or local experts. Thinking maybe the Smithonian could have interest due to its possible historic relevance.

My hunting partner found one that sold over at heritage auctions and they have only ever handled 2.. They said there are less than 10 known examples known to exist.

[Digger_O'Dell]

So it seems you know more about it than the rest of us. Since your friend sold his, just curious what something like that is worth?

[calabash digger]

No you didn't read the post correctly or I didn't word it correctly. He found one over there that sold a few years ago.... not his he doesn't have one its one someone else sold. We do not sell relics....

What an amazing find!! Congratulations on getting another awesome piece of American history! I think it's interesting that he went with IO as the abbreviation for John. "I" being the Latin letter that predates the invention of the letter J in the English language. Very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing and HH Dave.

[calabash digger]

thanks ,I saw the same thing in 1611 Bible where they spelled Jesus with the I. I'm still pumped about it.

[Lodge Scent]

Beyond awesome. You have to think it's mate might be lurking in the same area :drool:

[OxShoeDrew]

Could quite possibly be "find of the month" if you lobby hard enough :lol:

[calabash digger]

that would be cool ....

[Donnie B]

Amazing find! I agree that it has to be your best find ever.

[calabash digger]

It is by far my best the more people contact me about its really starting to sink just how rare this thing is. John Adams GGG grandson contacted me and wanted to post images on his site and that is way cool to me.

Congrats on a great museum quality piece!

What a fantastic and amazing piece of early American history! Congrats on that find!

[calabash digger]

thanks , I'm headed out tomorrow to try and top this find , that's the great thing about this hobby you just never know what in the next hole!

[catskillcomics]

Great find! I found a website that's calling it a Political button. 1796 http://politicalmemorabilia.com/political-item/john-adams-political-button/62685

[calabash digger]

Thanks I had some calling it a button too. I just thought it was a cuff link as it is so small.... One place said it might be the same maker who made the GW buttons but that not a proven fact though.. I hope more info comes to light thanks for posting what you found on it...

[Camp Breathedsville]

Goodness Gracious ! What a find! I would still be flying in Seventh Heaven if I found that one.

[The Rebel]

Amazing find!

[Cooper]
