I've found two that had been placed in a tree fork and never recovered, ........... and the trees had grown around them over the years!
often wondered what the stories were, as both were isolated locations at least 100 miles from civilization nowadays.
Also found an 1873 Winchester while paddling in some shallow water miles from nowhere, ..... looked down and could see it laying there in the sand and mud, so jumped in and brought it home. Often wondered who lost it 100 years ago, and how they made out without the rifle, ....... most likely a trapper!
