not being a jerk

Im sure you dont want to hear from me, however I wanted to let you know im not trying to be a jerk to you... You took what I said about the forum out of context and now people are doing the same to you... Kinda sucks doesnt it... Im sure you have found many cool items at your site, however not everything is something.. Im glad you take the hobby serious but I do have to say this isnt the first time I have seen you dispute a request for an ID... Just chill out a little man, no need to be so defensive and argumentitive.... Had I known you were a "kid" (someone said you were a teenager) I wouldnt have even engaged you in a verbal sparring back and forth... Just sit back , relax and enjoy the hobby... Good luck and happy hunting.... Now everyone has made there jokes...lets let it go and move on ....

They're are a few kids on the forum who know a lot of history. I've learned a good deal from many people here and plan on getting some sort of degree in archaeology.

Btw someone tell seanprodadnas that I blocked him and no longer see what he says.

Pipes get rusty and it could be any kind of pipe. I also think too big across for any standard bullet. How about a blunderbuss?

I don't have a clue at all. But just a guess to toss out there.

^ my thoughts exactly. calm down guys. Don't turn this into the gag loop thread again.

In the early 1900"cast iron pipes were used in or around homes so I believe that's what you have a piece of. I'm know pro just another relic hunter of 15 yrs. stating my guess as of to what it may be , do to the fact that it weighs so much for know bigger than it is. HH

Thats possible.

Would cast iron bend like the one side shows? Seems to me like it would crack before bending that much.

Too bad there's no markings on the metal. That could help a lot.

Yup

 

[stanger]

I don't see evidence of a flash hole, or any mounting lugs- my guess would be a piece of pipe. There would be no reason for anyone to shorten the barrel of a smooth barrel musket, the barrel length meant everything to accuracy.

Drama!



The only reason I know so much about history (for my age at least) is because I learned it from y'all.

Yeah, thats cool, I learned mine from my Dad who's a history buff

Cheater pipe for a wrench.

 

[knack4iron]

Agreed.

I've dug several barrels and a complete musket before. THe inside diameter you have is bigger than any bullet I've seen. And I've seen alot of them, even had over 300 in collection I once put together and took to shows. That bore would be even bigger than the Arkansas Hog Nose bullets out there and I think they're around the .71 caliber or a tad bigger.Big ol'honkers. It was used for something in the war, just not a gun barrel. Keep trying though, with persistence you'll get one.
