Charlie,

Just acouple of weeks ago I was digging a trench trying to find our water pipe so the grader wouldn't bust it while fixing our drive way. but thats another story. I bumped something metal with me shovel and kinda looked like a gun part (I was hoping). the thing said "Benjiman Franklin" on the side and looked like some sort of barrel or reciever So I washed the mud off my find and brought it in. Low and Behold I dug up a 1935 Franklin air pistol chamber (that's the part just under the barrel). Half a foot later I found the pipe and didn't have to dig 20 feet like I thought i was going to have to. Well MR. Franklin brought me luck. It now sits on the shelf just above my reloader as does my newly found shells and will my roll crimper.

Historic pieces we find should be cherished as are my arrow heads I find every summer when I go back to the lil south Georgia town where I grew up and learned to appreciate what a great country we have here and will pass this knowledge on to my first born child due in AUG.

Good on ya, Keith! We all should feel the same way about preserving our heritage for our children. Congratulations on having your first child! I was on the Missouri playing tag with the Iranians, while they shot Kuwaiti tankers with our flags on them, when my first daughter was born. Within the next few days, she will be giving birth to my first grand-daughter (I have 2 grandsons) Uff Da! Time flies. Cherish it while you can. Collecting cartridges would be a neat thing to do with your son(?)
