A whole lot of junk! Mostly shotgun shells. The toy gun was found next to a Railroad that was abandoned in the early 1800's. An historical map showed what was probably a house but there was nothing but trees and brush now.

I think you are right! The trigger is stuck but hammer still moves. It would strike a flat surface the size of a cap.
 
That's a neat toy gun for sure :thumbsup:
 
Cool find for sure :icon_thumleft:
 
I found one almost exactly like that here in Dalton, A couple of years ago, neat find,HH
 
Cool find! You might want to check for RailRoad date nails, found in the ties and telegraph poles, they are very collectable. HH, Mike
 
Guess what... The gun is a rare GOLD Buccaneer that fires with a cap! Can you believe it! My gold streak continues! Should I go back and look for the ramrod?

I remember having one of those when I was younger. I would go back and look for the ramrod.
 
that is the coolest cap gun i have ever seen. period. :notworthy:
 
I wonder what the ramrod is made of? I had the excal discriminating out iron. I hit God knows how many iron targets, way more than I wanted to dig. I did dig a gazillion shotgun shells. Everything was at least 8" deep in hard soil!
