I still can't believe it happened even though the evidence is sitting right next to me on my desk. Yesterday, Danny and myself, along with two other friends(Dave and Jim), hit a couple of cellar holes on a nice cool day in June. It would have been my Father's 85th Birthday. I think he may have been watching the fun. I won't spoil it for Danny but he dug something great. I will let him tell you about it. I also dug something great. I dug my very FIRST 1789 George Washington Inaugural Button! That's not all. After that, I dug a SECOND George Washington Inaugural! That's still not all. I also dug a fragment of a THIRD GW Button! All three are the Heraldic Eagle with Estoile variety said to be favored by troops who served under General Washington in The Revolutionary War.
