    Need help identifying this one

    I found this today in a field while out hunting arrowheads. About 30 years ago I found a trade axe in the same area but this one appears to be a knife or dagger tool. If anybody has any information about it I would like to know.

    Looks like a Spontoon style axe.

    Thanks for that information diggummup, I think you identified it. This one is just a different style and there were probably many others.

    If I ever get a hold of a detector that will be the first spot I go to because a silver cross was found in a same location.

    Anytime you are in the area I would be more than welcome to take you to the spot. I was actually going to get a detector but I became overwhelmed at decided which one to get so I gave up. There are just to many to choose from.

    If I ever get in the area I will definitely let you know. Ohio is pretty far though.
