Piffin Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 05:46 am My thinking of the civil war era rifle found in the tree is that it belonged to a sniper and that he fell or was shot out of the tree, leaving it behind. Bayonet could have been carried up there by a mortar blast striking nearby Report this Post to the Staff

They sure can be tricky to pin point, even with a Pro Pointer. I'm hoping I come across some sort of gun in my life time. Think it be an excellent find. Report this Post to the Staff
Ambro Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 6:05 pm I Was metal detecting a Civil War campsite in Calhon, Ky and had brought a friend along who had never been metal detecting before( I have been detecting since 1975). I help him tune his detector and set him loose,about 15 min. later he comes walking up with a big blob of rusty looking metal and says,"is this any good?". He had just found a Civil War period, Remington .44 Cal revolver! Quite a rare find--now framed on his wall. I think he went detecting with me two more times and then quit. I have never found a firearm(I have found many pieces of firearms however). Report this Post to the Staff

MIA New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 5:33 pm I found this little .22 about 15 years ago. It isn't old, and it was only a couple inches deep, but it was interesting to come across. Report this Post to the Staff

NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 09:36 am Wow!! Some awesome finds!! I collect antique firearms also somim always hoping to find an old gun... That said... I have found a pistol.... But while I was hunting (not with a metal detector... For deer) one of my pistols fell out of its holster in a brushy area and I couldn't find it for the life of me... So I ran to the store, bought a cheap(er) bounty hunter tracker 2 and within 5 mins found my gun... That's the only one I've found... Becides that all I've found is old nails and junk metal... Until yesterday I found my first coin... Report this Post to the Staff
