Awesome.
I found a flintlock pistol above my rec room ceiling in a previous house. My son did some research and said it was worth some coin. Currently it is wrapped in a towel until I can make a display case for it. I figured it was a replica, maybe one day I'll take it to an expert to have evaluated.

wow man! ..i seriously doubt anyone would hide a replica, would they? i never get lucky like this. one time in high school a girl said to me "hey brian, come on over no one will be home tonight". so i went over there and no one was home.

That is a pretty neat story though. Wonder what kind of anchor he was using to pull that thing up?

That is a great story.
