Question - Lost/Found Handgun

I would send an email as well. Document that he tried contacting them.

Maybe a local gun shop can help? When I lived in a very rural place we had the cell phone of a county officer. We just called him for everything. Maybe a gun shop or gunsmith has a more direct line to get help

When I was a teenager on a camping trip with friends, I walked to the edge of some cliffs near our campsite and found a gun tucked inside a folder with what looked like a bunch of tax documents. After much discussion the group decided to call it in and a sheriff's deputy showed up and told us to "start looking around for a body." I was several beers in at that point so it was a huge buzz kill. In hindsight I never should have showed my friends and just kept the thing.

Here’s the scenario.
(Some details are withheld for obvious reasons)

Someone I know found a handgun with some ammo recently. It was half buried along a trail.
They called me and asked what they should do with it.

I told them to contact the local sheriff and let them know…

After 2 days, and a phone call to dispatch each day, there has been no response.

What would you do?

My buddy lost a gun while bear hunting in N. ID about 2 years ago. I think it was a glock 10mm. I can PM you some contact info if this matches the find
