I call this the Glass Field because I’ve never seen so much glass and pottery in one spot. My daughter and my wife have come here to search for glass and we always go home with a pile!

Tonight was pretty good to say the least, just got freshly ploughed yesterday. I jumped out of the truck and eyeballed the gun! I thought it was a metal rod, I picked it up so I wouldn’t drive over it. Turns out it’s a pretty cool find. Any experts on here have any idea what kind it is? I hope it’s the real deal but it seems a bit small.

Also found this worked piece of flint. Any info on this would be appreciated!

Found some silver, a 1903 IH cent, and Mickey. I’m not sure what the little horseshoe item represents but it’s kind of neat.

Thanks for looking!

You didnt even mention Micky mouse !! Hes cool too !!

My bad you did mention Micky !!

Also the nearly spent roll of duct tape. :)

Great hunt, congrats on the gun! Something that one would wonder how it got there in the first place. A rifle just doesn't get tossed unless it was damaged beyond a reasonable repair.
You sure have a mass of flat land there.

Liking the scraper, great addition to any display.

Thanks Pepper,

It was a farm, now totally gone and ploughed in. Maybe the gun was in an out building when everything was demolished? Who knows, amazing it survived so well against the farm equipment.
