I bought a piece of property several years ago in the mountains that joined me on the north When surveyed they found a boundary line marked by barrels off a single barrel shot gun. In the old corn crib there was a double barrel shot gun, a" hardware gun" The stock was rotted up to the pistol grip where it had been put in the corner of the crib, obviously by its former owner, the crib had fallen in years earlier, could not find a name just a solid piece of rust. The old house on the property was built in the late 1800,s I have often wondered how this came to be did the owner forget where it was or maybe died, thus leaving the old gun to slowly die to the elements?
