I was sitting around the house, feeling down because it was so cold outside and there had been no birthday gifts in the mail this week. Man! Not even a card! 
LOL
Anyway, rather than sit and moan, I took up my coat of many layers and went hunting. I figured there just HAS to be a present out there for me SOMEWHERE!
At first it was just what I expected. C-O-L-D !!! BRRRrrrrrr! And the wind was no help! I started working my grid in reverse. Backing up into the wind. LOL I knew it was going to be a short hunt and afraid it was just going to be one more bummer to add to my woes.
I only stayed about an hour but toward the last few minutes, the gates opened up and I got a slew of coins. All clad but I wasn't complaining! It was turning my frown upside down.
Had a shocker when the big disk popped out, dunno what it is, not magnetic but I think too thin to be anything much. Still, fun.
I was ready to give in when I decided ok, one more decent hit. (How familiar is that?!?)
That's when I found the remnants of this little cannon. At first I figured, a neat little youngster's toy. Still, I enjoyed finding it.
When I got it cleaned up a bit it became more of a puzzle. The whole thing is metal, non-magnetic, and surprisingly substantial for something so small. About 4-5 ounces. The sides appear to be made to look like wood and there are several little holes that look almost like a way to insert a fuse through the rear and up into the barrel's base.
I'll take it! A wonderful little hunt and several nice little presents! All in all, a VERY nice couple hours! Well spent!
Here they are:
Thanks for peeking!
HH!

Great liitle find 
I came from a large family and I made a sizable one to boot. But, these days, it seems that there's just no effort made to remember anything that isn't for themselves. Ah well, I'm not the one who's gonna change that and this is not the place to air depressive thoughts. (sometimes they build up and have to slip out somewhere though. 
)
