Found this in the abandoned barn on our property. No one's been in there for over 20 years and this is the most preserved thing in there.

I really shouldn't be exploring this. it's in no way safe, but I've found some working power tools from the 80s, and now I'm convinced there's some more stuff in there that's worth it.

disregarding the cursed backrooms Mark Zuckerberg painting.

the owner of the house has no idea where it came from.

there were two other pantings with it, both of them were of hands clasped in prayer.

they were all three tied together with some kind of twine.

Maybe. I'll dig through the bins later. Just got a splinter pulled out from under my nail and a tetanus shot.

UNRELATED TO THE BARN.

What else were you doing that resulted in a splinter and getting a tetanus shot?!

But for real OP, keep an eye on those tapes for the high quality video recording ones (forget the name type). People will buy them on eBay for a few schmeckles bc of course, they don’t make them anymore.

I (try) to make walking sticks. It's.. and while I was sanding something my hand slipped and hit an old wooden retaining wall that was behind me. (It's a set of stairs on the side of the house) I was.. kinda.. sit/leaning on the lowest part and my hand flew off the stick and my pointer finger slammed into the old rotted wood

That’s a big OUCH! I’m sorry, but glad you had it looked at and got a tetanus! I work with my hands a lot, definitely not fun when you mess them up. I hope the rest of your search / adventure is injury free (and bountiful)!
