My father’s Dental Technician (himself a keen shot who kindled my interest in shooting) had an Uncle who was a noted shot who insisted that his pair of guns be buried with him.
I have often wondered if his grave remained undisturbed?
That’s funny. My Dad wore a Zodiac watch he bought in Japan after a brief USMC mission in that part of the world, that he wore for most of his adult life. My mom said he was going to be buried with it. My son, then 3 years old, saw the Zodiac on his grandfathers wrist at the nursing home, and made a deal with grandma. He would give grandpa his watch, a Timex Ironman, if I am not mistaken, and my son would keep and take care of grandpas watch.
The oldsters and the little boy were all on board, I just kept my mouth shut. The Zodiac was rebuilt and my son wears it to this day, he will be 19 a a few weeks. There is a watch in that grave, but, it would be less trouble to buy one new.
Best,
Ted
