i have a question,
were we all on the same boat? or is it that we just happen to a bunch of guys with bad luck?
i need to learn to scuba dive and find those guns,
I was thinking the same thing, wish I knew where that lake was I'd go fishing.
In my case, it was Lake Superior. No GPS or other nav aids. Somewhere in US waters off MN, WI or the UP of MI. It was such a traumatic experience that my memory of the details is a little sketchy. Why, oh why, did I decide "Take your guns fishing day" was a good idea?
Just eyeballing it from the map, Canadian waters look like maybe 40% of the lake and several sources online indicate a total surface area of 31,700 sq. miles, so a ballpark figure of
only 19,020 to go looking in.
I just found a winchester website to find the year your winchester was made. I have a model 42 and a model 1912. both are standard grade nuttin' fancy nancy shotties. the 42 was made in '47, the 1912 was actually made in 1918 (almost 100!
)
add to that my Dad's old squirrel pistol a S&W K22 masterpiece that was made in 1957 I have some really old guns.
those three guns combined age 230!
and then I lost them in the tragic boating accident
Internet discussion boards pulling people of all different backgrounds together the way they do...I halfway expect someone to come along and show a picture of their
one 230 year old gun that's been passed down in the family from Colonial times.
