Muzzleloader Found in Hollow Tree

[breaks hunter]

Not sure when this happened but i got these in an email from my uncle last night. Apparently somebody found this muzzleloader in a hollow tree along the yellowstone river near Glendive, MT. It says its around 160 years old and in good shape probably due to being covered in bear or buffalo grease. Pretty cool find.

Or would it be considered a musket?

One of the stores in town here displays some of the stuff he has found. About every couple of months they change the display.

That is so cool. I have only found one Arrow Head on the Banks of Caddo Lake, La after a rain. To hold one that rare is neat. John
