how do we know when we found it? will it say $1000 in the description or something? will you be able to tell by looking at the title, or do you have to look at the detailed description you think?
 
Ugh, lol... I don't even know where to start. 🙁 I usually suck at these sorts of things, unless I just happen to know the answer to the clue.

As soon as I saw "Son of a president", I went to google and looked up first sons of presidents and I saw John Quincy Adams. Then I googled him and I read about Bunker Hill. I did a search for that and sorted items by newly listed and I clicked on the link and my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. I am still in disbelief.
