Great! Thanks for the replies. I will take the MD out where I found it, and hopefully the gun will be somewhere near/LOL. If anybody collects gun flints I will send it you. My dig site is right smack next to a civil war cemetary. I dig a lot of artifacts right next to the fence/gate. I think the graveyard may have been part of the main camp/village site. Kills me that I can't dig there.
