More digging at the old 1800's foundation and came up with some pretty cool finds, here is a pic from a few days ago.. 2 old knives, a part of a leg hold trap, and some unkown type of cap! Also found a large tool which looks to be once used on a farm "not in the pic", but I will sure to post a pic soon

It looks like an apple butter paddle.

its actually bigger than what it look in the picture, I want to say its almost 48"... It is def a blacksmithed tool, and the last blacksmith in this area was gone by the mid 1800's.. Id just like to know what the heck they used it for
