Nice finds! Love the soldier,never saw that one before. The coins were a great find also. These finds make digging all the trash worth it!
 

Congrats Etex, Your soldier is a Manoil #47 "Anti-Aircraft Searchlight" in their original catalog, circa 1930-1940. Yours appears to be in great shape and is very desirable to collectors. Happy Hunting, Sub
 

Def, A GREAT DAY...
 

Awesome silver day there !! Congrats love the toy soldier also =)
 

really cool soldier, great silver as well
 

Wow... that was a super hunt. Lots of lead and silver! GL&HH.
 

Me too! Love the soldier!

Excellent saves !!
 

Great finds! Those boys on the searchlights had a hard time, no flak jackets in those days! They had a solid beam I light to say here I am for any machine gun light planes escorting.
The color on the uniform is still perfect, again a great find.
