I found these items way back in the woods. The trap was not set which was good for me.

dduffy, it looks like the axe heads are 3 different varieties. Saw a chart of how to ID axe heads and their uses somewhere but can't find it now, maybe someone has it. I'll keep looking. Again, nice finds, looks like a good spot. dfxhunter(now V3 if this snow EVER melts)
Looks like a good spot to hunt. The libstick tube is sweet

You can post it RPG....just don't use itRPG said:Nice hunt dduffy. Looks like that site has potential.
You can bet your sweet arse, if I ever find a steel trap, I won't post it.

HOLY COW BATMAN "I THINK IT'S A TRAP"
OK stop!!!!! It's good everyone can let people know how they feel but we are not going to change anyone here. Right or Wrong we should not judge others because of there beliefs. So I'm going crazy trying to figure out what this is so let's get along and figure this out.
P.S it's not a lipstick tube.

no the winner is the finder of the trap * who posted his find -- as a added plus he removed it from the woods -- however he did say it was not "set" at the time he found it -- clearly it looks as if its been out there for a good while at some deep woods trapping camp from long ago.

nope not lip stick tube --its a match safe --minus the lid --keeps your matches dry to start camp fires with . -- having dry matches --being able to start a fire in remote areas can mean the drifferance between life and death.

Hey Silver. Thanks, but I think it isn't. There's a pic with it next to a dime. Thing is, maybe I'm missing something but it didn't really look like it had threads. I'm going to look at it again to make sure. Wondering if it has been cleaned enough, if there was any type of writing on the cylinder or the top.

its been found out --lip stick tube --he pulled it open -- they used to commonly reuse the old lip stick type tubes for match safes to keep their matches dry --thats why I said match safe -- since just about all trappers were men -- there must have been a woman with him or he was using the lip stick as a form of "chap stick" I guess , or the guy was very ah "differant".

I am a professional trapper and I make most of my money by trapping moles.
I then cut off their back ends and put them in a jar and sell them as molasses.
