Done a little river wading today. Metal detector found some junk, but the two eyeball finds are kind of nice. Seen what looked like a label laying in about a foot and a half of water. Ran my detector over it and it swirled up and back down through the coil. Caught my eye and when I bent down and took a closer look, I seen 'Ole Abe looking back at me. Scooped that up, I'll take $5 bills over 500 zinclons any day. Next eyeball find was in a foot of water, a revolver. Large heavy hawgleg. Picked it up, figured it was a modern repro of a old sixshooter. Could read Frontier Sixshooter on the side. Searched that when I got home, and its a Colt. Once I knew where to look could even see the old Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company label line on top. Found the serial number on the butt, its either a 81,XXX or a 87,XXX number, which on the Colt SAA is 1882-3 range. Made for a short hunt trying to lug a detector, a scoop and the hawgleg around, but made this a short hunt and was happy with it!![icon_thumleft :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif)
