“””UPDATE PICS DOWN BELOW”. Went to the Fort and dug this 6” inside the Fort in the white shells. Hard digging. Doing electrolysis now. Any ax men out there to age this beauty? Will take pics after.

Great looking axe. I have never found anything similar. Looks almost like a tomahawk. Congratulations!

I would put it mid 18th century to early 19th. I also want to see it cleaned, we'll know more then.

if that turns out to be a hammer head on the blunt end it is not rev war. Looks to me like a shake axe 1800s

My opinion is that is a hawk and I'm hoping you find the pole end to be a pipe.

Hughett, this is scary. I was thinking the same thing when I saw this pic. I'm thinking Rev War also.

Looks like the kind of ax native Americans bought at Home Depot 250 years ago. Congrats on the tomahawk!
