Dcraun Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The river is extremely low near the house so I took the kayak out to a place where a bridge used to cross the river but was burnt during the Civil war. I turned up some Civil war bullets both Yankee and Confederate a homemade fishing sinker some iron relics and two handguns! You never know what's in the river I guess.

Jeff McClendon Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The Clerke First Guns revolvers we’re definitely throw aways and aren’t made any more. The 25 acp FIE Titan E28 semi automatic is no longer being produced but a similar Saturday Night Special based on the Raven is currently being made by Phoenix Arms. The Titan has no mag but it is in cocked position. A round could still be in the chamber but I highly doubt that it would still be "live" or that the gun still even remotely functions. I agree with others, I would turn them into local law enforcement. They have zero historic or collector value. If the Titan was instead a Colt Pony or something similar I might have a different opinion depending on what condition it was in. I am not surprised that you found them in a river. Great hunt!!!

Valens Legacy Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Great place to hunt for sure, cool water, shade, nobody to bother you, and a well known place to dump a gun that may have been used in a crime. You may want to report those to the police as you never know who through them in the river or why. Good luck on your next hunt and may you stay safe out there.

CPT_GhostLight Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wow, great finds! It looks like that area is a hot spot for disposing weapons! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Metal detecting and fishing, two Virginia favorites. 👍 They probably threw them in the river due to the crackdown on unserialized pistols. Thanks Lynyrd Skynyrd! 😵 Great photos DC, I think Jeff has you covered. They wouldn't have tossed it if it was a Colt. 😀 Here's a pic of the little guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
