So With the snow and frozen ground I have been going absolutely nuts not being able to detect lately. So I was going through the back of my truck and made an interesting find that I almost threw out! I found this thing sticking straight up out of the ground at an old cellar hole. So I yanked it out to detect around it and never gave it a thought. It was obviously used as a stake at some point and smashed with a hammer, which is funny for what it is. I believe I found my first gun barrel, seems short though don't have an exact measure but some where around 26 inches?. Gotta set up a larger electrolysis bath for it here at some point and look for stamping. But there is 100 percent a dovetailed front sight on this sucker, cant really tell if there is rifling or not yet. Anyone aware of that short of a rifle in like a 38 ish caliber?(will take proper measurements later)
