Go ahead, "axe" me about this one.

This is one of over 50 axes we have found on our site all surface finds. it's only about a 3 to 5 acre field. This is definitely the biggest to date. It weighs 12.5 lbs. It is 10.5 inches in length, 6 inches wide and 3.25 inches thick. it's 3/4 groove and it has a plow scar on one side and it looks like it could have been used as some sort of mortar/grinding stone on the other, which is definitely plausible considering the size.
Thanks for the look.

I used the 12 ounce soda can as a size reference..... it's not a SPRITE plug, although the 0 calorie 0 carbs 0 sugar lemon-lime goodness is a fabulous thirst quencher...
