The double-barrel of an old pistol has been discovered at a New Zealand tunnel dig site.
The double-barrel and other metal components of a pistol have been discovered at the bottom of a well at the dig site for the Victoria Park Tunnel in Auckland, NZ. There are many reasons that people would've had guns during the country's colonial period but the fact that it was found at the bottom of a well points more toward sinister reasons. Could this be the discarded evidence of a long forgotten crime ?Mystery surrounds the discovery of an ancient gun during digging for the Victoria Park Tunnel. The double-barrelled pistol was found at the bottom of a well near Napier St at the southern end of the tunnel project. Archaeologist Sarah Phear says a team member made the discovery. "There have been different artefacts found in different layers of material. The pistol was found right at the very bottom. There were layers of soil and rubbish on top of it. "
