Found a nice relic today about 10in deep and 2 1919 coins and a 1936s dime. Could anybody tell me how old the hatchet might be? thanks
 
Wow!! I might be wrong but that looks like an old, Trade axe. (Tomahawk)

That is an awesome find..:surprised:

There are throwing axes that look like that made to this day.
 
Just found out that it is a authentic french trade axe early to mid 18th century. WOW i have something from the very early days in Oshkosh WI. Now i know how all the civil war relic hunters feel when they find a button or bullet.
 
I thought it was traded to the Indians by the French but wasn't positive. Awesome find!!

That Mercury dime isn't too shabby eather.
 
Be sure to preserve it correctly. You might want to clean and dry it well and then coat it in wax to keep the air from getting to it.
 
check for a makers mark on the side.Most of the time trade axes are dug broken,nice to see them whole.:surprised: Heres a site for more info !!Superb find!Congrats!!

Did you find it with a Sovereign and were you hunting in Disc. or all metal?

Just curious......
Thanks, bottlebum
 
HI Found it with the sov. xs2apro with the 12in sunray coil.Hunt with no notch as low as it turns and disc as low as it turns can still here the good from the bad and watch the meter when i get a high sound. Also i never hunt in all metal and have the disc switch and the variable switch up. Found a lot of good coins that many before me walked right over.The sweet sound on the axe was just to good to pass up so i dug it. Will dig a few more lower numbers if they are deep and sound good. Hope this helps. harry

Sure does Harry. I was guessing that you found it in the disc mode but wanted to be sure. Thanks and hope you find some more relics from the same period.
