axe head????

[runninnavaho]

Was out in a field that an old railroad used to run through. I was hunting with my wife. We found this about a foot down in the dirt. I don't really know if its an axe head but it is shaped like one. This is my first find of the year.

Great first find can not wait to see more great finds from you good job.

Thanks I was hoping for railroad spikes but hey this works too.

[runninnavaho]

Not really but that's what I thought I would find.

What you have certainly appears to be a single bladed Axe head. Does it have a hole for the handle?

 

[runninnavaho]

No there is no hole Idk whether its a hatchet or an axe head I'm gonna try to clean it and post a better picture

 

[Anasazi]

Yup iron mate!

 

[GeorgeinSC]

If there is no hole thru the item then it can not be an axe or hatchet head as there has to be a hole for the handle to fit thru.

Could have been a splitting wedge. Is it thick and heavy yet the general shape of an axe head?
