Howdy Folks. Still attempting to get my therapy when I can. Ground is pretty frozen in most areas but, I will chisel out what I can to get me out of the house. Not much for finds but, the cool old axe head. I believe this is my first in this type and probably my oldest axe head. I was pleased to get it as the snow was coming down. A very peaceful time in the field. As always thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

I just dug my first of that variety the other day. I'm curious to hear when it dates too. Nice Job
 

Nice finds on a cool day. Congrats :thumb_up:
 

Congrats on your old axe head. No expert but, I reckon old Abe Lincoln may have split rails with one like this. Must be civil war era anyhow. I love anything old. Even rusty tools. It was a great day. Thanks for chiming in.
 

you make me feel very blessed, it is warm but rainy down here. I just need hip waders to dig in for the mud and water. glad you found some great relics and some quiet relaxing time....well, I guess it can be relaxing chiseling a find out of the ground
 

Nice finds, Kevin! 🙌 I drove into Mendota on 251 in the middle of that...My "adventure" for the day. 😂
 

Kevin..... first off you get an A+ for working in the snow. I just got back from huntin' the beach it's 70 degrees here today :sunny:

Check out Simmons & Co. Cohoe, NY. They made a steel broadhead axe head that looks a lot like your find 1834-1860

Cheers.....
 

Looks like a good relic hunt too me, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Thanks for encouraging the crazy guy to continue roaming the snow covered fields of northern Illinois. It really was quite peaceful and not too cold. I did have to pass over some deeper targets where digging wasn't possible. Thanks also for the lead on my axe head. Been wanting an old one for a long time.
 

Very neat axe head Kevin! We got some slushy snow this evening and I was going to take a day off from hunting but you have motivated me the get out and swing tomorrow! Thanks mate!

One of the best things about T-net is the challenge we receive from others who post cool finds recovered under some difficult conditions. I can attest to this personally. Many of my best recoveries have been since I became active on this forum. I wish you well on your adventure. It's suppose to hit the 40's here tomorrow. Party time!
 

Love them ole’ axe heads

I was going to hunt today but the humidity was awful, so I stayed in the air conditioned house all day and got some rest.

There's not much you can do to beat the heat. I don't think they allow naked metal detecting? Night hunting in the summer is my option or jumping in a creek. I was comfortable for the three or four hours I hunted today. Right about 30 degrees.
 

That is an awesome find Kevin! Glad you got to go out.
Rock solid up here still. Slowly melting away woohoo!
Only one day below freezing for me this week. Cant wait to get out!
 

Axe heads are always fun to find.
