Liam Hollingsworth Fox 😂 I didn’t even think about about that, well done sir

But seriously, who used this, some alternate dimension joker that lived in the 19th century?

@@dominicksmeech2994 Wealthy target shooter comes to mind. I always thought a revolver with a long barrel and stock would be a great early assault weapon

Didn't The Joker have one of these in the Tim Burton Batman movie?

Bold Alligator - now that’s a neat idea !!!

Nah. The only place where something like this would work would be the "Internet" and noone uses that shit

You sir win the internet for the day.

Dad?!

@@scumroyalsgaming Theres no such thing as the "internet"

Corrosion shaming is a sin of the Patriarchy!!!

zip 22 ... nuff said

Even failures are cool. Look at the beginnings of the semi-auto hand gun, those things were either overly complex, expensive, awkward or flat out impractical. Now , semi auto pistols are the norm. Yea the zip 22 was a dead end, but had nobody tried it, we wouldn't know.

Yeah and only non functional ones deserve to be in a museum anyway with the exception of some very rare guns. Guns was made to be shot. If you want a decorative piece well then its great you live today cause you can buy all the replicas you want.

What happened to the Winchester rifle? I can imagine if I found something like this I would hide it in the attic

Supernatural you don’t know what his issues are don’t be a dick

@@Rudeljaeger I don't, but I do what I want, my legs are never going to work no matter what I do diet wise. Thank you for your concerns however.

Several of the revolvers appeared to be still loaded. The owners were victims of foul play most likely.

Man, o man. I really want to go to Cody Wyoming now!

Yes, the last stands of men in their struggles against nature and other men. Just the thought gives me goosebumps.

oceannavagator all those guns there with so many stories like that to tell. It makes you wish they could talk and tell their tale.

Assuming the owner was in a position to care? I've done Great War Archeology, a fantastic treasure hunt- better than any game- Then suddenly very sobering.

@@51WCDodge Yes...my Dad was career Army and we were stationed 1959- early 63 in Karlsruhe Germany right along the german/french border. As kids we were told about the dangers of digging around as there was a lot of unexploded ordnance about. There was still a lot of reconstruction going on in town and some areas just had streets in block grid pattern with nothing but piled rubble where buildings had stood and the gutted shells had been knocked down for safety reasons. The Siegfried Line ran along outside the town in a continuous row of "dragon teeth" tank obstacles, all overlooked by many concrete bunkers....some blown to rubble...others not. Nearby where we lived off base there were woods with old forest roads where there were still shattered and scavenged vehicles that had obviously been shot up in convoy by aircraft. In short, the area was littered with the remains of war and I collected a bunch of stuff like bayonets and cartridge boxes, seven helmets in various conditions etc etc..........a few rusted out small arms which we had to turn in (they had a fenced off area on base where there was a large pile of such guns just out in the open on a concrete pad). When we came back to the States I had an Army duffle bag crammed full of stuff......including a sword hilt and about 18 inches of rusty blade left that someone who looked at it said was probably a sword from the Franco/Prussian War of 1871. Alas there was no duffle bag to be found when we unpacked our stuff when it arrived back in the States. Movers stole it we guessed. Just like the 27 pistols my Dad collected off enemy dead or prisoners during WW2 and crated up and sent back home...........and they never arrived. Some rear echelon type likely loved finding them!

@@gregkerr725 Funny enoughg I grew up in Jersey in the Channel Island's, that was Occupied, and we had the same lecture , if you find anything in a bunker or on the beach etc.... So like kids everywhere, we went looking. Most of the stuff was traded, sold for a few pennies or just not worried about AHHHH! If I knew then! I learnt to shoot full bore pistol on a Geman marked GP35 . On the down side, the States (Island Goverment) decide they would seal a lot of stuff in underground tunnels, with a view to a museum. Nothing ever came of it , but some kids broke through the seal and got in , as I was told , bear in mind I was about 6 years old. Some kids had got in and lit a fire inside, they left' some younger kids got in and were suffocated. The tunnels were then cleared and sealed completly. Rumour has it in the other Island , Guernersy , there is a Renault F17 tank that was driven into a tunnel and left. Trouble is the land is church land who won't allow any excavation and the land above the guy want's stupid money for a test bore to be drilled. So who knows?

@@51WCDodge Wow! I recently saw a video about the Channel Islands featuring all the fortifications that the Germans built which all seem to still be there and intact at that. The narrator explained that many huge bunkers had been sealed with much equipment still inside, and that a few still are, though some have been opened over the years. It showed one that was opened in fairly recent times and there were just stacks and stacks of pristine German helmets in there! Would have been a neat place to grow up in!

@@gregkerr725 Had it's moments. Though Jersey the biggest Island is 9 miles by 5 miles. Most of the fortifications are still there, as it is to expensive and difficult to actually remove them. On the north coast of the Island a lot of artillery was just dumped over the cliffs. Some have been recovered but you can still see breech mecanism and some barrels.

And SKS's......

I'd like to add to that: One day, someone's gonna dig up a Hi-Point Yeet Cannon. Let's all take a moment to appreciate that.

@@IFDFAdmiralY11 I had not heard about said Yeet Cannon until I read this lol that is amazing.

@@joshuagibson2520 If the plastics and pot metal doesn't deteriorate into pile of dust.

And don't forget all the Jennings pistols in storm drains.

It shoots through schools.... Never hear that line in a movie again.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edJhatyjl7y7gZs.html

Joker had one in Batman. I jest.

They also may think a boating accident occured ;)

Hopefully it won't be the FBI.

For real!

In Falaise in France, where the German Army was trying to cross a ford about 10 foot wide being hammered by the Allies, lots of bits went into the tress and hedges, and got grown through, though a lot of people won't belive you.

Did that a few years ago, good time and bought the shirt to prove it! Also a visit to the Erma for prime rib should also be on the list!

It's worse than you think. He was there two weeks ago for the conference.

I drove through Cody 11 days ago on my way to Yellowstone. And again a couple days ago on my way home.

PLEASE!! Take time to note day date time place and any other context of what you dig up. Being here you understand the importance, but so many just grab and run, any information that is important is lost. A cause of livley discussion in UK and in Europe many places require you to have a licence for a metal detector.

@@51WCDodge any finds of historical significance will be well documented, I assure you.

@@jakesmith1267 Then I wish you luck! :-)

I love that museum. I highly recommend it ! Went twice in two days, and still felt I missed stuff.

I didn't see any problems with the labels - in fact, they tended to be a lot more informative and interesting than most museum labels.

@@ForgottenWeapons Small odd ball musuem, normally run by people who are dedicated- Finest Kind!

Side note. It would be really cool if you were to be on an archeological dig and found a “forgotten weapon” that then in turn was donated to the dig up museum...all of which from start to encasement you filmed. 😎

Is it as good as Wixon's Shovel Museum!?

I seen a lot of guns dug up here on YT and the wood is never as nice as some in this museum

Zorg they are propably classed as de active

There is a provision in the law that permits museums to possess restricted weapons.

@@Rif_Leman Thank you

@@Zorglub1966 Its a form 10 transfer, means museums can have pretty much anything but the only time they can actually leave the museum is for conservation or going to another musium

@@therideneverends1697 isn't a form 10 only for government organisations?

In the USA, we'd actually call this the second floor.
