UPDATED PICS OF GUN.
Went back to the other day's Plan A. Had a perfect day for it too! Overcast but not raining, cool, nobody to bother me
during a nice long walk!
This is the type of hunt that I really, really enjoy! One where the hits are spaced out but not too, too sparse. Plenty of good, easy targets, ground that had been dampened a bit since the last time.
Enough chit chat, let's get to the finds!
First up, I thought I had some sort of large shell remnant:
Actually, it says something about "INTERNATIONAL........FLARE....DEC '48"
So, some sort of flare base I guess.
Whole wheat, semi toasted.
Applauding hands with a number 16 on it? Obviously from the Civil War, probably from the lost 16th regiment.
Yessssss, even a nice ole silver quarter to make me happy!
But get a load of this one!
Now, I'm no relic guy. This came out of the ground from about 1 foot down! It looked pretty much
as it does now because I have no clue what to do to clean it up. I don't know and don't much care if it's
a real gun or a cap gun. It's survived in the ground a pretty fair amount of time, I have a little
respect for this piece. I will say, the handles appear to be bone grips.
I figure you relic guys would appreciate that I didn't do anything to it until you could see it.
And, lastly:
Ya know, I'm afraid Blingie's gonna break his neck one of these days! LOL
Not too terrible. Actually, a pretty wonderful hunt!
Thanks for taking a moment to peek!
