Florida Finds c1910 to STS-51C

[cambria09]

Hello all. Hunted three in-city home sites and a 1950's sawmill for these finds. Got a nice mix including hardware, ammo, compacts, WC's, some nice silver, and a significantly Florida pin from 1985.

Check the link and the last pic.

Hi yaxthri. The pin is from Shuttle Mission STS-51C. Check the link. It was a secret DOD mission in January of 1985. A year later STS-51L flew and blew up. Crewmember Onizuka was on both missions and perished. It was a bad day for NASA, I remember watching it explode from Orlando. Thanks for the reply and good luck. C9
