Oh No, I Found A Rifle!

Here is my long announced "rifle video" from Bavaria. This happened in the afternoon on the same day as my previous adventure. I was actually on my way to a different location, but when I got out at the bus stop, "something" told me to go in the opposite direction. Unfortunately I had very little time. At first it looked like another disappointment. Good targets were probably very deep, the shallow finds were trash. On top of that I spotted the usual signs of previous metal detecting activities (holes and trash next to it - I just hate it). It didn't look good, until I came across a hardly noticeable, "deep" signal, which (to my very surprise) turned out to be a small, thin silver coin. This was the proof that the targets were there, but very deep. This gave me the needed motivation. Nevertheless I struggled with my own thoughts. I didn't know where to go and tried to do the best I could in the short amount of time. At some point I decided to go up the hill. I came across an animal path and followed it for a few steep meters. When I got to a horizontal (human) path, something was lying in front of my eyes... It was hard to believe at first, but it looked like a rifle. How and why? I was in shock. I walked from the bottom "straight" into this find. It looked, like it was waiting for me there. Once again, simply unbelievable... I believe this is a "Lebel 1886 M93" French military rifle. It was manufactured in St. Etienne and refurbished (?) in 1939. It is the shorter "R 35" model with a magazine capacity of 3 rounds (instead of 8).
