Coinhunting forum
HEAVYMETALNUT wins the 2010 Find Of The Year Contest With His Awesome 1789 George Washington Inaugural Button! CONGRATULATIONS DAVE!

my reply back:

Just wanted to say thank you to veryone who voted for my button.
what an honor to win this FOY banner award.
I just have to say when i dug this i trembled,my heart was racing,a feeling i never experienced digging any of my finds.
then 2 months later to dig another one was just beyond words!
I hope you all remain persistent in your quest for treasures of the past and don't ever think for one moment that a place is ever hunted out.
both these buttons were found at pounded cellar holes as evidenced by
previous relics piled on walls around the foundation.
may your next signal be the find of a lifetime for all of you!
thanks again and i'm truly honored!
Dave
