OK, as usual I'm not up to date on all htis computer stuff. The picture is small. Just wait untill I mess up all the other ones! Anyway, the pistol shown was dug in a company size camp between Corinth, MS, and Shiloh back in the late 1970's. I took three Minnosota Yankees on a hunt around the area. This small camp had been discovered by a friend and myself a year earlier. On this day the three of them and myself covered the area with a few finds, but one of them dug nothing. I got a signal under a bush and called out for him to come dig it. He, however, failed to come over (was digging shotgun shells) and I became tired of wainting around, although his two other friends did arrive. Well, he was thar and I grew tired of waiting for him so I dug the signal. And there it was...a 'Civil War Saturday Night Special' .44 single shot pistol. Years later I gave the pistol to a a very good friend named Bob who owned property on a battlefield/camp in Mississippi in thanks for allowing me to hunt there with him. Bob hunted but was not very good at it. Actually, a few years later Bob happened to dig a twin of the pistol I gave to him! Go figure.
