I struck out to the hill I have been detecting the last couple of weeks where an old 1800's home burnt years ago. Very cold today! But, that didn't stop me. It paid off big time with a nice 1906 Half right on the surface!! I have included a youtube video also.
Well, it may be. I thought it was a chisel too. However, I cleaned the mud off enough to reveal a lug/lip for shoulder of handle to slide in. I built a electrolysis bath and plan on throwing it in. Will know better then.
