Skunked on coins, but GW Button saves the day

I was out early today with my buddy Chuck, not much to speak of for the first 3 hours. Then he finds an 1853 Seated Quarter....I'm so jealous lol! Then 5 feet away I hit a clean target and pull this from the plug. I don't have much experience with buttons, so I ask "hey Chuck, what's this big a$$ button?" and he runs over as he knew exactly what it was since one was dug on this same field last year by his other digging buddy. A George Washington Inaugural Button. Not in the greatest shape and a little bent but I'll take it!

I'd take that GW any day! That's awesome! They came in sets of 4 I believe so there must be 2 more around there.

Thanks Del! I almost feel guilty digging it when I really didn't know too much about it before I did.
