A .22 Short Rifle Mk II... found in a creek

[painter777]

Can you imagine pulling that out of a creek ?
I still rejoice over finding a grime/dis-colored unopened 6 pack of Strohs beer while fishing a drop off near a shoal, back before I was of legal age to drink. The glint of shine I seen had me thinking I'd found a nice torn free fishing lure. Upon recovery we dashed to a small Isle and polished those cans so clean, you'd of thought they were just bought from the store.
Sorry........ ole memory rant, but they sure tasted good !

Some say that Cedar stained waters can preserve wood for a long time because of the high levels of Tannin, the stuff that gives small creeks and rivers that look like Tea. And how it can repel insects, like boring beetles...etc
