It obviously had been under water for a long time and interesting was the breach was partially open. Now in this part of the country, no one gives up their gun willingly. Appears to be Savage 99 in 30 cal (303 savage)? I brought it home for a conversation piece. Last edited by savvy; 04/16/23 02:38 PM. Reason: needs picture

His small son was crawling in and out of logs and found a Pelican gun case. They got it out and found a Sako 375 H&H. It was terribly rusted and the action wouldn't open. He pulled out the foam to dry it and found a couple thousand dollars in 100 dollar bills under the foam AND the guy's name and address. He tried for a couple years to contact him but never could. We figure it came out of a boat that capsized upriver years before Mean As Nails

Ir was still wired with the hammers back. Obvioiusly left over from the Coal Wars but completely rusted to heck. God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.
