Thats a good one !
we were clearing out a fence row as a kid and there was a round post completely inside a tree ,went through couple 3 chains on the chain saw but nothing like a flintlock .

A few years ago they found a Winchester 1873 that a tree had grown around up in the Sierra Nevadas. There has to be some great stories there that will never be told !
