GW ping, Rev War ping, kinda

‘the group also discovered a set of four brass buttons celebrating the inauguration of George Washington, the find of a lifetime.

“In the metal detecting world, guys find buttons daily, but you don’t see George Washington buttons.” Pressl said.

The buttons are worth tens of thousands of dollars but money is not what motivated Pressl. He was interested in the history. ‘
