    The second article was from a British news website, apparently that's proper spelling across the pond:

    ar·te·fact
    chiefly British variant of artifact

    Great story BrianK . You don't see too many of those anymore. The daily news takes so much of the bad happenings
    And when stories like this are found it's like breath of fresh air.

    Prolly all kinds of cool stuff like this also, just lying under 6"-12" of ground cover. No wonder so many like metal detecting.

    Just wondering how they know the gun is not loaded? Would you be willing to work the action on that gun to find out if it is loaded?
