Hunted a new spot today and it was pretty interesting. I found what's left of a breach barrel gun (shotgun?), a pendant/charm, a three ringers and some tube end or cap of some kind marked "US" on top! I have no idea what the cap/tube end came from...

Yes! As soon as I get a bin big enough, I'll run it through electrolysis. I have so many questions now since I've found it! Was it lost or just stashed in the woods? Broken and just left to rot? Make, model, gauge? Is it even a shotgun or a breech loading rifle? But all that is what makes it fun!
 
If you're just starting I have a few threads you can see in my history to help

Thanks, I read it before! I've just been lazy and not gotten the materials I need to try it out. I have too many hobbies! I'll get around to it eventually.
