Hi folks this is my best ever find, I dug it a few weeks ago but here is the story again...

Hi folks, my name is Alan, I don't usually post any pics of the things I find because it's usually not anything interesting BUT when I was out yesterday I found this bronze age axe head! I didn't realise how old it was until I got home and started researching it, I discovered it is called a palstave axe head and is around 3000 to 4000 years old. I was with my cousin when I found it, he passed over it and left it cause it was an iffy signal, I decided it was worth a dig cause there where hardly any targets in the field, 99 times out of 100 I would probably left it thinking it was just a big bit of iron deep down, really glad I decided to dig this one! Thanks for looking Alan, in Scotland.

Here are the pictures
