Thought I'd check out treasurenet. Looks a very active and interesting site.

As its an American forum.. Here's a pic of one of my past finds that you might appreciate .

It's an 18th c toy Flintlock musket . Its one of the first cap guns ever! ( a little charge went in the tray at the the top) and the only complete one I know of in existance. ( please prove me wrong or right!)




I look forward to see what you guys get up to.

Be lucky,
Wormslayer.

I found something similar in our garden in Northants before we moved to the USA some years ago. Have never tried to clean it up.

Wormslayer,
Welcome aboard. Glad to have you with us. This is a great site with a lot of great people. I have seen some very nice finds from "across the pond". Look forward to seeing you finds.

Debby it's actually called a 'Gamage gun', after A W Gamage, who ran the People's Emporium of Holborn, London, and was a major supplier of them.
