The triggers would not set so I removed them to see what was the matter removed the front trigger and when I started to remove the back trigger the flat spring that is used to set the triggers popped out right on my messy floor . looked high and low for it no luck. Thank you for your help.

I bought one of those handled smaller magnets that roofers use to pick up roofing nails from a lawn. The magnet is about 10" long and has found more stuff on the floor of my shop than I can remember. I also went over my yard after the roofers left and found a couple dozen roofing nails they missed that could have ended up in my tractor tires.

 to give you a some more info. the triggers are from a  A. Parker target rifle made in Ludlow Vt. around 1842 it is in very good shape except for the triggers .I used a magnet and also went through all the $#@* I had on the floor . Is there another sight I can ask for some info on someone who could fix these triggers? Thanks For Your Help.

There are dozens of good 'smiths right here who can make you a new mainspring for your triggers...one just has to step up, if they want the work.  This is not a difficult job.  Post a picture of the triggers as they are now, please.
