do you ever find yourself losing things?

[Druid]

Makes you wonder what the person who lost it was up to all those years ago.

I wonder if it was loaded?

Reminds me of the similar lost rifle story reported by Kahles a few years back

Kahles scope found 27 years later - The Optics Talk Forums

i sometimes lose the plot!,,,,,, i don,t know how its got an headstone on it,

 

[Pedro]

Fascinating. In this day and age and in this country, they'd certainly find out who the rifle belonged to and no doubt consider revoking a certificate, posthumously!

hhmmm not sure about gmp or cheshire, pedro,

I read the same story recently but with a Zeiss scope (including pictures). Either there are a lot of careless owners of top European optics about or most are based on one original story.

I am definitely losing the plot - went to the cash machine took out fity quid, put my card back in my wallet and walked away leaving the cash. Only realised when I pulled up at the petrol station!
Then decanted hand wash onto my toothbrush
I am in bed right now wondering what is next!

 

[devilishdave]

The tree doesn't look 100 years old?

 

[Briar]

I must have reached that age where the thing I lose most often is my memory. Some would say temper would be a close second.

ps bet the rifle has a story to tell.

Chances are it was left there long after 1882. I know people who hunted with those rifles when they were young. Oddly, it's not uncommon to find a firearm in the woods. A friend found a 1906 Winchester leaning between two rocks many years ago. It was rusted and rat chewed, 50 miles from the nearest town. One can't help but think that some disaster befell it's owner.~Muir
