During a three-day treasure hunt near Chappells, South Carolina Dirt Diggers club member Patrick Stewart recovered what is believed to be a pewter George Washington inaugural pin—a rare and valuable find from the 18th century. “We didn’t know at the moment what it was,” Stewart says of the discovery, shown in this video shot by his hunting partner, Josh Tyree.
