Posted by 2Xplorations the comment the rifle is so valuable that nobody would leave it against the tree??
when that rifle was left there it wasn't all that valuable I bet that 132 year old rifle been there for 131 years you gotta wonder though did a hunter just forget which tree he leaned it on? bandits or renegades get the guy?

"The rifles, which sold for $35 to $50 in the 1880s, now can fetch up to $15,000 in excellent condition."
in 1880, $35 was a months salary for hard working people.
