That building is where you live and you didn't know it?????? LOOK under it!!!!!! LOOK in the attic!!!!!!!! That is where the good stuff will be hiding, I have found some mint signage UNDER buildings like that.
Once found 3 opaline, 2 HC truck door signs ,a sinclair credit card sign. 3 curved Large lead signs in a box UNDER the building. Spiders, mice , snakes, couldn't scare me after finding that....I needed a cigarett afterwards though>>>LOL

Congrats diesel........ if you have access to a metal-detector you had better take one with you especially if the building has a loading dock. I have talked to guys that have found signs under them, but they do get covered over by dirt over time. Great find just be sure you don't leave anything behind.

Good Luck, I am guessing you couldn't get your wife to hold the flashlight for you while you are under there.
