Help me identify this very old Gun?

[BBReezen]

Might be some more stuff around

Could be a rotten ham sack and some petrified corn dodgers pretty close.

That is pretty cool to find something that has been there for no telling how long. Just think of the story that could be told on how it got there.

Hail no..I dont want that trouble. That guy disappeared after posting that thread

That was a racoon's hand...

Ike dug that one back up and got answers from the guy.

was there a hand attached to it?

I hate it when a fun thread like that never has an end and it gets taken off the board I still enjoy the ol' Adair thread from time to time. I wish I had printed the Hand thread before it was axed.

And the corn dodgers would probably taste just like they did back then.

I think I would dig a little more carefully and bust out a metal detector as well...

bust out a metal detector as well...

Might be a fun place to go over with a detector.

That is a neat find!

why is the grip not in the same state as the rest of the gun?

Probably a Navy, although it could be a Metropolitan Navy as well as a Colt. It's not a Dragoon if the barrel is octagonal as dragoons half round/octagonal barrels. That hammer, however, looks too laid back to be a 51 Navy. Navys had hammers that were more vertical when in the fired position.

What a find!

[bigmike585]

Wow! Awesome find.

Have you fired it yet???

[bigmike585]

Probably had so many notches etched in it that it didn't last . . .
