[The Silverslingers]

Hi fellow White's friends....
we had the amazing opportunity to metal detect and explore an abandoned 1700s house before demolition began. Needless to say, we wanted to save all the history we could! I am happy to say I uncovered a huge bucket list find of mine which makes me extra happy I saved it from the bulldozer....thank you all for watching!! As usual, there are no ads in my videos; I share my passion for history only. Happy hunting!!

WOW! If Bill L. would have been with you he would have said ''What a Sick Find!''.

 

[The Silverslingers]

Lol he very likely would have! We had an amazing hunt and I am glad we were able to save some of the relics there from being lost forever...I thank you very much for watching!

You know BILL L. is going to cry like a baby because he missed that GW Inauguration button...

Way to go. " YOU DONE GOOD " LOL

 

[The Silverslingers]

Thats a very nice video,that looks like a very old site,as i live across the pond is it fair too assume that button is pretty unique ??? sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but i still cannot see why all the excitment is with a button.

Wow,i always wanted to find one of those and i realized what it was right away ...i could feel the hair on the back of my head tingle just watching it on video ,i would of freaked out in a good way if i found that... big congrats on that one...that would be a great place to get back into if possible after the dozer disturbs the soil as its gonna move stuff around....great score...

Hi!! Thank you! Of course that is a very reasonable question for a non-US metal detectorists....the button is a 1787 Inaugural George Washington button, and they are a very rare find...definitely a huge bucket list find for people over here...and it's in pretty decent shape on top of that! I am just so happy it was saved from the bulldozer, and all the other finds as well . Thank you for watching, my UK friend!

 

[The Silverslingers]

Hi! I was SOOO excited (and still am, lol!!)!! definitely a huge bucket list find for me...dream come true. I am actually right now trying to make arrangments to see if I can go back there either right before or during the bulldozer action! i sure hope so...I just know there is a ton more stuff there, but I need more time!! I thank you for watching!!

Dominique,

I love your enthusiasm! If I had a detecting partner I would want them to exude that level of excitement - its infectious!

Your Tiger is a very lucky man!

thank you, Pete!! Very hard not to get excited pulling those old finds out of the ground...and in this case even more so because we know we saved those relics from being gone forever! I thank you very much for watching!! happy hunting!!

I always enjoy your videos and this one was no exception so thanks for posting. Congrats on the GW Inaugural button !! That is a bucket list find for sure. I hope you get the opportunity to go back to the site before it's covered in concrete. Great hunt.
