I think you are right! The trigger is stuck but hammer still moves. It would strike a flat surface the size of a cap.

Cool find! You might want to check for RailRoad date nails, found in the ties and telegraph poles, they are very collectable. HH, Mike

Guess what... The gun is a rare GOLD Buccaneer that fires with a cap! Can you believe it! My gold streak continues! Should I go back and look for the ramrod?

I remember having one of those when I was younger. I would go back and look for the ramrod.

I wonder what the ramrod is made of? I had the excal discriminating out iron. I hit God knows how many iron targets, way more than I wanted to dig. I did dig a gazillion shotgun shells. Everything was at least 8" deep in hard soil!
