DIDNT SAY IT WAS A CIVIL WAR AX! SAID IT WAS FOUND OUTSIDE A CIVIL WAR HOUSE IS THERE ANY VALUE! IM NOT SURE THE ERA OF IT!well this is the info i have , there has been a cs buckle found on it already. and alot of bullets. but house has burned down, all that remains is the 2 chimneys. the cemetary beside it has 15-20 graves dated 1806-1860. this is all i have to go on. you tell me what you think!
#1 if you would like the friendly help here,lose the attitude.#2 I personally am offended when one asks the value of everything they post.The gathering,and preservation of the historic relics we gather is of more importance than a $ value and gives people the wrong impression....most already think we just rape and pillage to make a dime,and landowners are apprehensive to give permission if they think you are getting,"rich".
Now for your piece,it is in too rough of shape to definitively say,"Yes,Robt. E. Lee swung this here pick himself".Judging by the provenance of what else was found with it maybe,but also may be just, "C.W. period".What is a "Civil war house" any way?
yep, you reply "What makes you think this is a CW ax?" never said it was to start with
Define CW house? now im a dumb ass and dont know what a civil war house is! really? since i ask a question that makes me or others ignorant?
so you insinuate that im calling it a civil war ax, its a question!!! and that i dont know what a cw house is! really
furthermore if i hurt your feeling by asking value, oh well since the land owner is ME, yea i care what its worth im sure if you found $100,000,000 in relics on your land you would give them all away! yea right . if it affends you so bad dont respond to questions. just answer the question and dont read into the question . if i asked you what 1+1 is? are you gonna ask me why dont i subtract it instead?? come on be real you so smart on what is and isnt a civil war house , TELL ME WHAT THIS IS!!!!
I use to live in a "Korean War" house. It was built right after the Korean War with a GI loan my father was eligible for. Did you know of someone who built the house during or after the Civil War, or is that just a name you gave it for reference? I can see how a person could have a question about it being a Civil War house, especially if he/she hasn't read any of your previous posts regarding same. And I don't think anyone was rude on this post except the originator. Name calling and capital letters is not called for. So, I apologize for calling someone rude. Two wrongs only make a wrong. M nty

It is a broken axe head worth whatever you can get for it, and has no collector value due to it's broken condition, as it appears to be of the most common variety. Judging from my detecting since 1969, I have found at least one of these on every farm I've dug at. Since 90% of the population was farm based about 100 years ago, a detectorist can find at least one of these on every farm in the country. I found a nice double- bit on the place I now live at, cleaned it up, re-handled it, and use it frequently for whackin' wood.
