The Delaware Department of Transportation turned up a brass button that commemorated the 1789 inauguration of George Washington as the nation's first president at a construction site. A gilded tin campaign pin from the 1864 contest between Abraham Lincoln and George McClellan was also unearthed.



Maybe if they widen the scope of the dig they'll find tiny, old protest buttons:

I (heart) the King!

Impeach George!

No New Taxes!
