Early fur traders pipe unearthed

[mk4125]

Spent an afternoon digging some rusty targets at a fur traders camp. I searched just along the remnants of the rock foundation and received a mixed-hit. The signal was bouncing from a brass to steel signal and I was expecting a pocket knife. Out pops an old pipe.
It's made of thin, rolled steel slightly bent with a brass tip. A few hours in the electrolysistank and she cleaned up nicely.
