MtLaffeeBottleDigger, we have rules on insulting members, please read and follow them.
yep need Pictures 
Only thing that comes to Mind is Mid 1700, When the Colonists
Supplied Rum Illegally to the Indians, and maybe a Hatchet to
open the Barrel . & since the Indians Felt Entitled, they would Kill, Scalp & steal it when told NO More ! Unfortunately, Would only be a stone Hatchet head & rusted Barrel Straps left.
Of course What Era Hatchet type may help date the find also
whether indian, Colonist or more Recent.
Purely Speculation of course
Could be a Yuengling Lager Barrel

Yeah it would just mean you found a carving of a hatchet and a barrel without a little further info. Pics would be good. Also maybe the general area you found them cause the history of the place will help. I couldn't speculate on it, but sounds interesting.
