Today has had way too many storms locally for me to metal detect (I attempted to, but it was not worth it for the rusty nails and cans I kept finding) so I decided to explore some buildings on my grandfather's property to see what I could find. I found various items (Including a large Coca-Cola sign, a smaller Jumbo Cola sign, both of which have sat in the building for at least 40 years) but what really caught my eye was a shotgun I found sitting in the corner of the building behind tons of boxes. Patent date on the shotgun says 1913, but I suspect it was produced sometimes in the 1920s. I also found a pistol holster, but for what type of pistol I am not sure. I included some pictures of the components on the holster, I hope some of you can tell me from around what time period it comes from, as no one, not even my grandfather, knows where the holster came from. I feel as if, even though I did not get any big finds metal detecting, it would seem I still found items to make me happy with the day! (As a note, on the holster, I cleaned it, and the strap went down to the brown leather, it is not added to the holster)
