Was just on my way home from the castle and about to turn my machine off and I got this real high pitched tone... Almost blew my ears out.. First thought was a can or the usual.. But decided to dig it anyway... I pulled it out and my heart was pounding... A gun... With beautiful engraving.. I couldn't wait to get home and see it... I started cleaning it and the pulse was off the scales... That was until I seen the lone star logo.. Turned out to be s&w 45 cap gun made in England... But still... The excitement anticipation and joy it brought for that hour were all worth it... Hunting Rocks :) :)

Very cool! It can't bee too old - the plastic caps are still there. Brings back memories when I was a kid. I had the same type cap guns.

i think you were still excited when you typed the title of your post...:)
nice find !... digging cap guns does give you a rush .....if just for a little while !
 

Stuff like that cap gun is fun to find. I found a diamond ring that was plated and glass, but the initial rush was there.
