Archeologists found a 130-year-old rifle that had been propped against a tree in a Nevada National Park and then forgotten. Maybe not for 130 years, but long enough for it to look like part of the tree.

I wonder how long it had been there, why it was propped then and how it came to be forgotten. is it loaded? But also I wonder what on earth the archeologists were doing out there? Are they looking for something that might be related or completely unrelated? What made them notice it?
