First Gun Ever! Also working GOPRO!

[Georgivs]

Well I thought last weeks would have been the last dive of the season seeing as how there was a hurricane bearing down on us, but the hurricane swerved and the river is lower and clearer than ever! I went back to the spot where I found the gold ring last week and spent some time. First thing I found was a .22 revolver! the first gun I've ever found!

Cool!!!! Congrats!!!

Nice .22 revolver, probably lost by someone involved in the squirrel hunting trade. Collect enough squirrel pelts and one can sew up a pair of coveted squirrel skin boots - just be sure to pick all the fleas off before putting them on. 😁

Congrats on the finds

If a squirrel died by that revolver it was suicide

Alot of trappers carry them

 

[Georgivs]

Huh never thought of trappers! I figured it was someone kayaking while packing heat. Remember gun owners! Always test your holster for retention during an Eskimo roll before taking it down the river!

Nice finds, congrats!
Who would have thought making a gun out of zinc was a good idea?

Thanks! seems like pretty cheap construction. I've always wanted a .22 revolver that can handle everything from shorts to magnums, I think I'll go with Ruger when I finally pull the trigger.
