Kingston, congrats on the treasure, whatever it turns out to be.

About thirty years ago Dad stashed a US surplus Krag in his house somewhere. Probably just wrapped in an old blanket and has been at ambient conditions all these years.

Maybe someone stumbled across it and stole it, but none of the family has been able to find it. It originally belonged to my paternal grandma's father. It would be cool to have it, but even if we found it now, it would probably be rusted beyond salvage.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
