Trip #2 to new site - Trigger guard best find

[Don in SJ]

Went back to the site I got some buttons and and knicknacks but not a hint of a coin. I guess the best find of the hunt is the trigger guard which is without a doubt the longest one I ever found and at least it has a nice design on the bottom. Not sure if I will revisit this site anytime soon, it was a hassle today getting to it through the woods and I did search it rather hard today and will scratch this one off the list as a possible prime return spot. On to the next new site next time.

I have no idea on the age of the trigger guard or for what type of gun it was installed on.

Here is another Trigger Guard that is almost complete that I found a few years back, have a few more but not so intact.
This one also has a decorative design on it.

Don I have found several designed pieces from different sites. It was obviously very common.

Don, that is a nice piece of history you found. Too bad the gun isn't with it as as well. Nice piece of history rescued from the depths
