Default Dream Find. Washington Inagural! **UPDATED PIC**

Hello all. Me and DanDan Went diving first thing this morning and I found a silver ring, A silver Cross, A silver Basketball, A Huge Chunker Gold Ring Wehing 8.6 Grams and has 2 diamonds one on each side, a small gold locket, and some clad. Wow I was thinking great day. Cant do any better. Then I was supposed to meet my boss at his house for a hunt and when I got there we hunted his yard a bit. Not a very old house concrete foundation. But man was I surprised to pull this button out of the ground. I believe it is a George Washington Inagural. I havent rinsed it or anything I dont know what to do to clean it or what? It apears to be in great shape under the dirt. The shank is on the back it is just smushed down. Then we went to anouther place and i found a 1958 Silver quarter a Skeleton key and some wheaties and clad. If this button is a inagural like I think it will be my favorite best find ever.

Can anyone give me some advice?
1. Is it one for sure?
2. Should I clean it?
3. Value?
4. Anything else I should know.

The gold is nice but I think you might really have something with that Washington Inagural. Good luck.
