[etex]

Found a WWI lead soldier and his searchlight led me to a silver half 1939 and a 1926 quarter, louisiana tax token

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

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.
