Found a pistol today..and some other stuff

[gxray]

i hunted an area today full of history from colonial to present. I found a pistol frame. Can anyone identify it? There are no markings as far as numbers or lettering. Also found an ornate key, earring with stones and pearls,appears to be made of lead with a gilt coating and screwpost on back. Found a fired 3 ringer , aluminum necklace medallion, axe head , melted lead , suspender buckle , some sort of medal hanger, 1880's nickel, medicine vial,and a few other odds and ends. Also stumbled on a bottle/trash dump full of mason jars and old clorox bottles.

Hi,
It looks like a Stevens No 41 Tip-up pistol, but different manufacturers made single shots by the hundreds from 1850-1900 so it could be another manufacturer, but more than likely it was a stevens.

Neat axe head. Good find. Axe heads clean up very well.

Nice call Steif. I carried one on a trap line for years so that would be my call also
