Welcom to T-Net ! WTG on that find. :icon_thumleft:

It looks like someone got him first, or his rifle jammed; too bad we'll never know the story behind that relic.

Welcome to the treasurenet.

You have a very intersting metal detector. How did you make it? Does it detect deep? Either way wow.

About the rifle, did you find any of the other pieces with it? Did it still have the bolt in it when you found it, another words closed on the live cartridge?

Thank you for posting. We look forward to seeing more of your finds.
