The Cellar Hole of Dreams!

[Donnie B]

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.644036440464405

Were they close in proximity? I'd say a large GW is at the top of my wish list. Wonderful!!!

I've also heard they were sold in sets of four so there could be three and a half more! The buttons were spread out in probably a 30 square yard area. Why did he lose so many?

P.S. - Does this hat make my head look huge?

Drew, I was reading Cobb last night and he recounted two different instances where five GW's were found together. I think in one instance they were found in a storage trunk in an attic (in a burlap bag) and in the other they were found together in a hollowed out tree.

I wrote an article for Western and Eastern Treasures. I hope it gets published. I also entered the Best Finds for 2018. We will see what happens!
