132-year-old Winchester found in Nevada National Park

Archaeologogists at Nevada’s Great Basin National Park discovered a 132-year-old Winchester Model 1873 .44-40 cal. rifle leaning against a juniper tree during a routine park survey in November. Its rusted barrel and weathered, wooden stock blended almost perfectly with the tree. “It was the right people in the right place at the right time,” said Nichole Andler, chief of interpretation at Great Basin.
