    Washington Cuff Button

    I was out with the sunrise this AM and it was 37 degrees I went back to my bottle dump site and found it wasn't a dump site after all. Someone just dropped some garbage there 100 yrs ago. After the 26 surface bottles and some iron, there was nothing underneath. Oh well. I started metal detecting and found a few buttons on an old road. One had lots of cloth still attached and one was my 3rd GW cuff button in the last few years. This baby still has the shank and serious gilt on it.
    Thanks for looking, Drew
