Saw a program on TV today, think it was something like " Ghost Town Gold". More or less same thing as the two guys going around digging thru trash and trying to find treasures. This one guy in his narration said he felt the people had place an old 1860 pistol on a rafter just so they would find it. The guy wound up buying it for $1500.00 and from what I saw it looked more like a modern reproduction over anything that would have been sitting in a barn for 30-50 yrs. I have owned and still own guns from the 1850-1870 and one in particular looks great for a 150 yr old pistol but what I have does not have rich bluing and sparkling brass. They never allowed the pistol to be filmed close in or on the right side which would have giving a few more hints as to the authenticity of what they had. Getting to the point now that these TV shows are more of a joke than an informative or entertainment.
