40 Yr.'s Too Late I was Told.......

Some of the farm's I'm fortunate to hunt at Antietam/Sharpsburg have given up some sweet find's......And when I asked one particular farmer for permission his reply was " Your 40 Yr.'s Too Late"




I'm thinking 140+ Year's.....Cool Stuff

I'm glad they got the horse and mule anyway.....wouldn't be much of them to find after 140 years

I wonder what 1168 rifles, muskets and carbines would be worth today

I had an experience similiar to that..The farm next to my parents' place in Manassas, was all woods up to the '50's. The guy that farms it for hay now told me that he worked for 50 cents a week as a kid clearing the land. He told me they had hundreds of old rusted muskets & swords that they pulled out of the field & just tossed them over the old stone wall that they made as they were clearing.....Of course all of that stuff is long gone..all I ever found was an old spiked pistol.
