My big find of the day!!!

[scurvy_seadog]

Out on a logging road just for fun and seeing what might turn up. For me it is the adventure of what in the world will I find? Well about a billion pull tabs and coke cans later. My MD pings in nice 98... 10"inches down. hmmm wonder what it could be silver dollar? I start to dig... and I hit steal flat squar edges like a strong box! I am like wow cool! I hit the Mother load!Of broken axe handle and single bit axe head. Still fun and and enjoying this hobby.

Sounds like a good day to me seadog! How old is the axe? Some old ones can have a bit of value to them to a collector. There are plenty of posts here where they are being discussed. Keep hunting man!

 

[scurvy_seadog]

well by the looks of it i would say around 20 years old? or more So I took it home and will repair it.

Hey alright. You can fix that bad boy up and put back in work.I like finding tools that can be reused. Congrats.

It looks like one that a Faller would use to drive wedges in to the back cut. the handle looks like it broke and was just left on the old landing and covered up by a new road cut.

The only thing I can say it the handle is not that rotten on it so it is not that old. the head can't be more then twenty years at most.

its just nice to be out digging and the thought that you could possibly find that strongbox makes it even more enjoyable
