    5 GEORGE WASHINGTON INAUGURAL BUTTONS IN ONE DAY! BEST HUNT EVER!

    I'm not even sure today was real
    Todd picked me up & we went back down to the 1750's home he found his GW at 2 weeks ago.
    after about an hour of swingin around the yard I decided to go in the area he dug his.about 5 feet away the tree line was and headed in that direction.got a nice signal dug down a large dandy button surfaced.it was plain.stood up swung and another signal.knelt down dug another dandy.flip it over i see the eagle
    stand up same thing.kneel down out pops another.repeat process another! 3 in a 6 inch radius! i was like no freakin way! I figured since they were sold in sets of 4 this was it.

    swinging around yard about 100 feet in middle of yard another 58-60 VDI dig down 4 inches another dandy or cloak button.flip it over i'm like this is not possible 4 GW's in the yard plus todds made 5 from this yard.we spent the morning here and after lunch decided to go try a new cellar hole we researched.
    get to the site was kinda slow going,alot of big iron,todd got a real cool relic and i decided to go on the opposite side of the cellar hole. workin that area i get a nice 60ish VDI at 5 inches.dig down out pops a nice silver washed large dandy.flip it over and no freakin way! i kneeled there in utter amazement! stretcher:
    i'm staring at my 5th 1789 George Washington inaugural button in one day

    I don't know what it was today?If ole George was lookin down on me or the stars were aligned just right? I'll never know.But,one thing i do know is my very 1st GW a few years ago was my most memorable hunt.this this is a tie with the 2nd best hunt alongside my 1793 chain cent.a day i will never forget!

    Re: 5 GEORGE WASHINGTON INAUGURAL BUTTONS IN ONE DAY! BEST HUNT EVER!

    i'm convinced there were atleast two sets of four buttons at the house you guys did first , which means there could still be another three there. how crazy would of it had been if someone said you would of dug up 5 GW buttons today , huh?? i hope you bought a lottery ticket or two lol lol how about a nice shot of the nine together ??

    Haha Dan... :hysterical:
    Sincerlely though Dan, It did not bother me one bit. I was truly Happy for Dave today, he just happened to get his coil over the right spots today and if he wasn't there, they may had been lost forever. Maybe he can sell some and buy a car so that I don't have to pick his arse up anymore rofl rofl And to think, I almost left him home today and hunted with my Aunt's husband instead. I could sense on the phone at how miserable he was because I was going to hunt the house with out him. I could hear him whimpering like a little puppy...I could not find it in myself to leave him behind <} <}
    I made some pretty nice finds today that included some buckles, coins and Civil war token so I was happy. I am too tired to clean them and post so I will get around to it in a day or two.

    Gratz Dave and great job

    Let me get this straight....you dug 4 GWs.....had lunch....went to ANOTHER site and dug a fifth? There is no emoticon for this. I'm shaking my head.

    I'm very happy for you Dave, I'm guessing you'll again grace the pages of some magazines with this effort. Enjoy it!

    i believe that Todd (i've heard the whimpering before lol lol) but you know if it was the other way around and after you had pulled that fourth button up , his coil would have been swinging so fast from side to side cutting the grass and sapplings down . lol rofl admit it Dave don't get me wrong i'm happy for the GW-man too. he is a machine though Todd maybe thats it , its all making sense now Todd ... he's one of them Borg like on star trek , we'll call him (because of his buttons ) 5 of nine instead of HEAVYMETALNUT lol lol. glad you two had such an eventful day and have a great one tomorrow , thanks for the offer by the way.I hate work

    and oh
    hey Dave , THANKS FOR UPPING THE COUNT OF GW BUTTONS >:/

    it just made my $2000 dollar example plummeted to $32.50 lol lol

    Your right Todd he should sell some of the ones he just found and buy a car and start picking us up > > but we all know all his stuff will go right in his casket with him,you will have to lower his casket with a crane.Unherd of how could you lose that many GWs in one yard,why were there so many did they toss them out the window,It could only happen to you!!!!!!!!!
