FYI for all asking for pics and info, I've asked my co-worker and he will be getting them as soon as he can. From what he tells me, the home sits on the bay that is accessible to the Atlantic, so my guess is that they were hidden away during the Revolution when the British controlled the area and forgotten. Such a great find, and as my co-worker says, his FIL is a BIG guns guy so this is better than finding a chest of gold!

What a great find and treasure. It would be interesting to research the previous homeowners to see who may have been the owner who hid them.
HOWEVER, aside from the physical find of historical weapons, I think the greatest treasure here, is what it depicts and what is says about the citizens of the country at that time. Someone intentionally preserved, hid, guns and ammunition for some reason. What a statement. I wonder why?

That's really cool. It's definitely true that history repeats itself in regards to hiding those firearms and the idea and political climate behind it at the time.
Would love to see the pics! J
