That is such a jewel! And the other buttons are nice too. I only know one guy who has dug a GW button here in Ohio I wonder what the odds be on finding one out here?

Hope you get one soon Steve , thank you.Originally Posted by Steve4050
Brian i hear they are very uncommon to very rare out in New York but i have seen a few found , I hope your in an area where they were lost .Congrats again on the GW Dan! It cleaned up nicely!
Tony , I could see a few lost out your way . Ohio territory was at one time considered to be part of the state of Connecticut or I should say Connecticut had claims to that area (so did Pennsylvania and they even fought over it ) .Right after the Revolutionary War there was a great migration (from Connecticut) to parts of Ohio and I'm sure a few people brought some of these buttons out with them . so don't give up hope my friend !
No problem Al , thanksSorry for being so late on such a fantastic find. That GW cleaned up really great......

Thanks Dave , i wouldn't mind a "chicken eagle & star " type next
Roger this was a new site , this was the second time there (first time was the saturday before but only detected it an hour though due to end of the day) . ask Trooper Bri , I told him i had a good feeling about the site (still do infact) and we both did very well . thanks
well i did some research and found out that my first button (on the left) is the common GWI 11-A "close spacing" of the monogrammed GW , its a more common of this type . and the new button is a GWI 11-B "medium spacing" and one of the more rarer ones .
