Took a vacation day and went to a teardown where my friend Carl and I had hunted a while back and where I found a piece of foil thingy that cleaned up turned out to be a little gold badge with Juncti Juvamus.
So today, I see the construction crew working on a new foundation, get permission from the foreman to detect (while they are working-thanks man) and find a small bottle lying on top of a small dirt pile. Pick it up and it is embossed "Palace Drug Store, Denver, Col."! (1891-95). Popped out a crusty penny, cleaned enough to see it's an 1888 Indian! Also found a barrel shaped badge with 1896. It is a souvenir badge for the 1896 Leadville Ice Palace. On the front it says: Crystal Carnival, Leadville, Colorado, Jan, Feb, Mar, 1896. On the top in the barrel or bucket it reads 200000000. The reverse reads "Leadville Carnival, Castle" and has a pictorial of the ice castle. Good day off and fun to find two 'palace' things today.
