Re: my first year metal detectin...100 year old logging camp
Thanks Blaze...found that gun in my first week of detecting...might have passed it up now, because at the time I hadn't learned how to determine iron from other metals and just dug up whatever made the most noise! proved to be a valuable find as I kept going back to that area and having success.

Can you tell if your rifle has an octogon barrel or not? Just curious!

Smokin' finds.
Question: How does somebody "lose" a gun? It would seem even more far-fetched back in those days when a gun was a basic necessity...?
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
