Some silver over the weekend

[Alchemist]

Saturday I finished up a co-workers small property (only about 4 hours to do a complete sweep). Managed all you see in the first photo; a couple dog tags (one 1926), some buttons, a buffalo and a 1952 Indian bronze one pice with hole. Oh yeah, and the 1964 Rosie. Interesting mix.


Today i tried a mid 20th century middle school, but without much luck with one newer wheatie and some typical clad. So I left for a local municipal/armory building I have had some past luck with (see pic). The building unfortunately lost a recent bid for historical standing and I'm pretty sure it's slated to be torn down. Thinking I might not have many more opportunities, I hunted an area of the building I had previously found some of my best silvers and managed a first: 2 silver's, one hole. It's a personal milestone, for sure, but I was thrilled. Seeing the silver edges, I had hoped for Mercury or better, but more than happy with 2 older Rosies.


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Congrats an a couple nice hunts. Love those permission hunts. When was the Armory last used as an armory?

 

[Alchemist]

maybe a bit when it was first built in 1941. An excerpt from Wiki:

The original intended purpose of the Armory was to house Wisconsin Army National Guard's 32nd Division. The building was equipped with ammunition lockers and vaults for guns and other military equipment used by the Guard. The Armory hosted the National Basketball Association's Sheboygan Redskins from 1942 until 1951. The building was the site of high school basketball games, circuses and other local events such as blood drives, and when the city's Hmong American community began to flourish in the mid-1980s, became the site of Hmong New Year celebrations.

Nice silvers and I really like the old dag tag... the oldest one I have been about to find is 1940. Good show!
