Anyone who died nearby wouldn’t necessarily be found.
Desert mice nibble bone for the calcium.
Scavengers scatter remains over quite a distance.

That’s what I was thinking: boating accident.

The assumption that the rifle was standing there for 130 years is a stretch. it could have been put there a year ago.

How old is the juniper tree it was lying against?

Read the article and the quotes. It’s so badly written that how it ever passed publication requirements is more of a mystery than the rifle.

Ha! It is isn’t it. The one episode where the family is going cross country in the wagon in the 1800s and one of the kids is sick. And the father goes to look for water and somehow he is transported to the future and he finds a diner and tells the waitress about his son and she gives him penicillin, and he accidentally leaves his gun behind and they find out it’s a gun from the 1800s.

In a Twilight Zone episode the rifle would be an Ar-15 that was left in the desert 150 years ago.

Maybe someone left it there 130 years ago by accident and it’s been there ever since.

First thing I thought.
Over The Rim.
Great episode. They don’t make TV like that anymore.
To: DBrow
From the condition of the wood and metal it had been leaning against the tree a long time.
To: Jamestown1630
Great TV. Way better than most of the stuff of late.

Any ammo in the gun would be a big clue.
