cool!!! I haven't found a gun metal detecting, but did find one tossed on my property (I live in a wooded rural area) in a plastic bag, but no clip. It was a 9mm el cheapo brand and I too turned it over to our sheriff's office.

Thanks for the kind words DK, I was hoping karma was going to come around as I dug a million pull tabs..no gold but I am hitting a late 1800's homesite today so maybe today is my day
Thanks BT, junk guns and probably not dropped and throw for sure and a early drop, has not been there very long but hours later that part of the woods was crawling with people/kids. I dont care if I get it back as I dont need it but I can take that off my bucket list..tho never thought I would find one. I would have preferred a gold coin...lol

Glad it was you that got this one as you knew how to respond to the situation. I'm very sure it will be a hunt that will stay with you for a very long time. I hope you can get some feedback in how it was put in that location and if it was involved with any suspicious activity. Congrats on a very nice hunt and a not so common recovery.
Would have love to join you guys out there, did have a good morning outing and then a lot of yard work on the home site. Hope to get back out tomorrow before work. Trapper

From the title I thought you were talking about your wife again
I hope they clear the gun and you can get it back, even if just a Kel.
Cool lock! Cool wheats.
I hope to find a gun some day!
Congrats!
its gotta be about a 99% chance it was reported stolen....chances are slim to none he will get it back

Was surely a weird day to say the least and took up a bunch of my time doing the right thing. Was not a planned hunt on my end by any means. I just knew I wanted to hunt and Brad hooked up late in the day. Next Sunday I am off we should hook up and reach out to anyone else that wants to make the trip. Cant wait to see you and do some digging.

Sorry I was thinking of Kahr as a quality weapon not Kel- Tec

Kel-Tec is not horrible but that particular one is

Big Congrats! That's just outstanding.
I hope that I don't lose mine while I'm tromping around in the woods.

Not your everyday find is right..... Nice one!

I'm not sure I would have known what to do as I never thought about or experienced this situation yet. Sounds like you handled it great, and a good learning tool for the rest of us who haven't experienced this. Thank for sharing, and kuddos to you Mike!

By the way....only a few of us know how cold it was 2 years ago at this time!
OMG....the ground isn't white or even frozen!
Cool find as well!

Wow, I've been detecting for a lot of years and have never come with one of those. Nice wheaties, they all need saving.
