Ok, I placed this under Todays finds and I was asked to place this item here for you relic hunters to see. ;D
This past Saturday I went out to an old homesite with a buddy of mine from work and did some detecting and came across this . Looks to me like a double barrel black powder shot gun barrel. I can't find any marks or anything on it. It was about 19 inches long and looks to be about a 12 gauge (in looking at the size of the barrel).It had been driven straight into the ground for some reason with the nipple holes facing up. The other piece of metal was found close by. I think it is some kind of harness piece or part of a collar for a horse harness. This was a very old place, there is no wood or tin anywhere just some rocks so you can tell
there was something there. Keep on diggen!!
