Hello.

Today was my first try at metal detecting. I had a lot of fun. I found a few coins and some other odds and ends.

Gun, I'm pretty sure it's a toy.

Thank you, Gary.

I think it is some kind of BB gun or other toy gun. The end of the barrel looks very odd.

I found it right off a trail in the woods behind my house. I think someone owned the woods before they made the subdivision right next to it.
 

Well done, friend! Welcome to the hobby! May the force be with you. :cool:
 

GREAT! finds mizzoufan96.

I use to live in Fulton, Mo. just down the road, went to a few games to watch Chase Daniels play :occasion14:
 

Those are some great finds on your first day out. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks now and I haven't found anything older than 1968.
 

Congrats on the wheat and BB gun. I used to live in Eldon and Osage Beach.

Very cool. I have only been to one game, but it was a good one :) 2010 Homecoming. I live in Jeff Co, south of STL.


Also, Thanks for the welcome everyone! :)
 

Welcome to the obsession!......neat finds. Keep at and don't get discouraged..............HH
 

Nothing wrong with those finds.
 

WELCOME TO THE INSANITY! Some days I question mine, other days it is a silly question.

Looks like what was once a Red Ryder BB gun. Lots of history in Missouri, find the old maps, knock on doors and dig the farm fields.

Good luck!

HI BOB!
 

Now you're hooked.... Lol The gun is definitely a cool find.:thumbsup:
 

welcome.your on a great start that bb gun has seen better days.congrats on the wheat.
 

It is a Daisy BB gun. I had one when I was a kid. Circa 1983. Took mine apart so many times I would recognize it anywhere. Awesome finds.
