How cool is that... an original 1882 leaning against a tree... there's a chance it could have been left there for 100 years or more.

It was probably left behind when the user ran out of ammunition. Somebody didn't realize that you could get more powder and balls for it.

I would be digging around the tree for the owners remains. Might actually be a grave marker. Told you it gets your imagination going.
