got out with the ole Sniffster today.day started off rough,couldn't find a couple sites.back to drawing board we finally found one deep into the woods.if ya didn't know what to look for anyone could have easily walked right by this hole.barely room to swing but,near edge of old dirt road in front of cellar hole got a nice button type signal,dig down...cloaker cool! rub a lil and see the sunburst :omg:
no freakin way! my 3rd 1789 George Washington Inaugural Button! no shank but the detail is amazing i think for it's age and being in the ground all these years.
at this 1720 home i dug a flat button.most of gold gilt still intact both sides, a ring which seems to be some 1940's-50's tv show item(please chime in if anyone can identify it ) and a silver plated pewter mashed flat napkin ring? with the name ADIN engraved into it and decorative flowers going around it.
what a day!

A third one is simply amazing. Finding one is a once in a lifetime deal... you have three already.

Not only a comedian an avid baseball fan and at one time part owner of the Pitsburgh Pirates, his son was a baseball executive for a number of years with other teams as well. He made some baseball themed comedies including the classic Alibi Ike.
