Posted Aug 09, 2010, 02:19:47 pm

Well Gary (foundation hunter) scooped me up this morning and headed to a new colonial cellar hole site. Right away we noticed relics piled on rocks and my hopes went down for me on this site as far as finding anything significant. I worked the old dirt driveway going up alongside cellar hole and my very first reading was a decent one at 2 inches. flipped the plug over and thought oh cool a cloaker or dandy button! flipped the button over in my hand and saw the oval in center and knew right away what i was holdin! I yelled "hey Gar! got a G.W.!" he was like yeah ok.... like i was pullin his leg   laughing9
I never trembled holding any of my finds and i can honestly say this had me shaking.
 1881 & 1897 IH's ,a 1927 merc and the buttons were all in the driveway area.
i bet whoever hit this spot before may be scowling big time right about now.
one of my best hunts  ever!   headbang
Digging & holding a George Washington inaugural button from 1789 is just a feeling you can't describe!

I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.

I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

you cant say we dont work hard for our finds walking miles just to find a good site to hunt fighting off bugs and spiders and all this hot weather we had this year.First time i ever saw and held a G.W well i guess it turned out to be [not just a dandy].
                                            GREAT FIND

WELCOME to "The Club" Heavymetalnut!  You guys are hard core. You have a Cobb #5, Alberts WI-11a. In 2003 there were 76 known, probably more around 80-85 now. No matter, it's in much better shape than the 2-Cobb 17j(s) that I have found. My research has shown that these buttons were sold in lots of 4. I would put some more time in at that site. Complete with shank, and nice and flat. CONGRATS!!!!! I vote banner!         The Hogge notworthy

Congratulations on the GW button man! headbang
I bet you won't sleep at all tonight. You'll probably just keep getting out of bed and going over to look at it, won't you!?
Why don't you just give in to temptation and tell your wife know that she's sleeping on the couch tonight, because tonight your sharing the bed with George!!! laughing9
i'm not married  laughing7
Than you've been blessed twice . . . once by GW and once by not having to share the auction proceeds! laughing9
I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.

I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

Believe it or not, these are classified as "Common", as regards to rarity, and have the highest count of known examples. Even though a ground piece, I still think it would sell for $1-$2,000. I'm hoping to get $500-700 for one of mine, (Cobb17j- Eagle and Star), that I will be listing on EBAY in the next week or so. Good Luck HeavyM, on whatever you decide to do with it. I chose to keep the first one, and sell my second, which is actually in better shape.

No matter, it's in much better shape than the 2-Cobb 17j(s) that I have found. My research has shown that these buttons were sold in lots of 4. I would put some more time in at that site.

i think it's an 11-B though
There is often alot of confusion on 5 and 5a examples. Look at the colored plates not the black and white. Spacing on the 11b is wrong for yours. Your letters are too close and the bands are short. 11b has medium spaced letters and yours are tight. If you look closely at the "5" example, the"G" is set lower than the "W", as is yours. On the 5a or Alberts 11-b, the "G" is set even with the top of the "W", and there is more spacing between the insides of the oval. Your spacing is set very tight around the "G" inside the oval. It was actually pretty easy to ID. WI-11a or Cobb #5. Although these examples are extremely close, they were punched from different dies. It is also interesting to note that there are ONLY 80-85 examples,( an estimate from 2003 til now), of ALL 4 varieties. So given that, there may be only 25, or so, of yours. By the same token, there could be 40 of yours.....20 a's.....20 b's and 5 Emilios. Those figures are not available. But then again, if someone needs your example for their collection, $$$$+    It is a very nice example.

Congrats and welcome to the Club!!  Like Hogge said, these were sold in groups of four so keep pounding that site.  I am only aware of two groups of four ever being found (Mountainman2 and mine).  Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this.  I've read they were first sold to Washington's Officers (Society of Cincinnati) and each one cost about six months wages at the time so they were revered even back then!

Awesome find, congrats on the banner!  PM me if you need additional info...I have the books about them.  Enjoy your find(s)!!

thanks Rick!
so in 1789 someone paid 6 months of wages for one single button? or a group of 4?
and just curious what was the monetary amount equivelent to for 6 months of wages? $25? $50?
was always curious what a large cent bought in say the year 1801? a loaf of bread perhaps?

Congrats on a outstanding find and with a nice straight shank! Welcome to the club and congrats on making the banner.  You pick up one of those and have to wonder who carried it last. Whoever it was had to be of some importance and might have even met Washington. Possibly more out there waiting for you to uncover. Go find them!

Congrats HMN !  headbang

Welcome to the GWI club !  notworthy
As you've already been told search that area again ... GW's were wore on a ribbon and if the knot came undone they normally lost more than 1 button.

I still go back down memory lane and remember the day I dug mine .
