Florida man bought wooden plaque at garage sale to use for gun repair, turned out to contain Louisiana's long lost moon rock

How many gunstocks does this man have made?!? And, regardless of the number, why would he buy 15 years worth of wood?

I suspect “sometime in the past 15 years” means last Thursday. Or this man makes thousands of stocks, and kept replenishing inventory on top of the plaque we see here. Covid made sales spike, so he finally worked his inventory down to the bottom.

Or he had it, knew what it was, enjoyed it for several years, then turned it in for his own reasons.

I find the story hard to believe. Equally plausible is some time in the past 50 years this thing was purloined and passed, out of sight, through many unclean hands.
