Today was cooler and overcast with a slight breeze.

This is the first day I have felt well enough to get out in a while, So I grabbed my little Tesoro Sidewinder and headed to the woods. There used to be an old log cabin near a creek that I hunted once years ago. Today, I hit a hole that was loaded with everything from harness parts to buckles of all sorts to the remains of an old trumpet, to two pistols and more.
I assume it was an old dump site. Otherwise, I don't know what to make of the hole. I know there is more there, so one day when I feel good again, I will go back to see what else is there.

WOW all of that in one hole!!

Are the pistols real or toys?

I think they are both real. Tomorrow I will clean them up and see for sure.

Glad to hear you’re feeling better and able to get out for awhile, Creskol. That’s one honking big pile of stuff to all have come from one hole! And a couple of guns to boot, sounds like a very promising spot you’ve found. Take care of your health and we’ll be patiently waiting to see what you find next! 👍

Thank you all. It was good to get out. I have everything soaking in a Simple Green bath for the night. We shall see what emerges from it tomorrow.

Good to see you made it out for some dirt therapy; that's an impressive heap of relics you've recovered.

The one on the bottom looks like it's a .36 caliber Remington Navy revolver, this gun and the .44 caliber Remington Army revolver both were used during the Civil War by the Northern Army as a secondary, supplemental issue firearm but after the Colt factory burned down 1864 the Colt model 1860 Army pistols were not available for some time, so large number of the Remingtons were sold to the Union Army for $15 each, $10 less than the Colts, many more .36 caliber (7,250) were sold than the .44s (850).

Thanks for the info. I appreciate that.

What is the nail tip looking thing coming out of the back of the barrel on the top pistol?
