yesterday i went out into my yard again and i found alot of junque, but then as i was wandering around to the other side of my yard i got a rather large, shallow signal that almost took my ears off. i started digging and there was a root in the way... it was relatively small so i dug around and finally saw the item in the hole. i grabbed the root and pulled it up with one hand and grabbed the thing with the other. it turned out to be a cap gun... also in the hole were pieces of a shed door handle... this gun was my one keeper.
i also found a crummy zincoln earlier in the week at my grandma's house.... i was hoping to find more there but i guess it was not meant to be...

Did you fill out the proper forms and wait five days before digging that, pookie??

Good find.

Great job, even the toys are great digs!

It will get better, Pookie. Nice pistol. Don't know anything about it. All the ones I have found have been rust free. That's not a real one, is it? Don't you love the stinkin zincolns? I usually toss them because they are so corroded.

How would you clean a find like that without destroying or deteriorating whats left?

Nice find! Looks like it's been in the ground for quite a long time.
Congrats!

i have no idea how to clean it up, but it looks pretty trashed... i used a wet toothbrush to get some of the dirt off but that was probably wrong... most of the guns dug up look pretty nice, but not mine. oh well

That's a keeper pookie! It would take a bunch of time but you can clean her up. Go for it!
