Little Iron Gun...

[Leon]

Hey all,
I haven't been finding much the last few times out, but I found this little iron gun at about 10" down...
Not sure if it was a kids toy, key chain, or exactally what it was, but the little thing, with all the rust, has a lot of charactor...
I thinkg it will go into my old rusty things colllection....
Good luck & Happy hunting~

Try this...if it is sorta heavy it may be the real maccoy. Get a big can of WD40 and spray a ton of it on it and let is soak for a few weeks...then check it out!

Whatever you do, DON'T do Electrolysis on it.

Just in case it's real & Loaded.

The Electrolysis may set the Bullet off, Don't know.

By the Way
Awsome Find

Thanks for the tips all,,, But I think there is a little confusion about the actual size of this...
It's only 6 centimeters long, a little over 2 1/4" inches... I figured I post a different pic...
In the other pic, thats a wheat penny below it, but even that pic looks a little funny, as far as the size comparsing goes...
