Returned to the site where my youngest son found that nice 1871 Seated Liberty Half Dime on New Years Day on Saturday, and my oldest son found an old cap gun (very light and in bad shape) then he had a spot that kept ringing loud with the AT Pro he was using, and asked me to check it.. my E-Trac was low tones.. I said big iron, don't bother.. so of course being a 16 year old he kept digging...
He finally came over and said look what I found.. it looks like a real small caliber pistol.. it was very rusty.. and we have been working on cleaning it.. mainly just soaking in warm water, and a dental pick.. all of it was in terrible shape.. hope someone here can tell us about it.. once we get an ID on it, we will turn it over to local Police department as we do not possess any pistol permits in our house.. its not fire-able anyways, and it was down about 6 inches..
Now for some photo's..
