I was checking out a yard and dug up a cap gun. After brushing off some dirt I could read daisy on one side and bullseye on the other. I also found a large metal button , a key , and what appears to e part for a rifle sling. When I showed the owner of the house the gun, she recognized it and said her husband had taken it away from their son because he was being a nuisance with it and disposed of it. She is in her nineties so it looks to be pretty good for being buried that long.

the "large metal button" is actually a hem weight. nice finds.
edit: also called curtain weight
 
I always get a kick out of finding cap guns as I can imagine a boy like me in the 50s and early 60s playing cowboy and practicing my quick draw. Congratulations on the cool find.
