I have found a small peice of what appears to be iron. I had a freind take it to someone who is supposed to be an expert on indian artifacts. This expert said it is an ax head made by the indians around the year 1750. How do I authenticate this ? I would post a picture of it, but I don't know how. Once again, Thanks to everyone for the help with my silver sabre II . I think I have a new best freind.
