Wow! That must have been a pain to dig up! ;) Congrats and HH!!

I don't always leave the house, but when I do it's with my metal detector. Happy hunting, my friends.

Cool find. I actually found one years ago in a creek bed with the handles. Had my aunt paint an outdoor scene on it and it makes a nice over the door decoration. HH

That might be a two man saw, but the real name for it is a "misery whip." When using one, you never push, each man pulls.

Great find! Love these old saws. For some reason when I see one at a yard sale I have to buy it if the price is right. Hence I have several out in my shop. Commonly know as a double buck, double crosscut or as BosnMate pointed out a misery whip. Although I have to say that from personal experience they are a lot more fun to use than a single buck saw. The most common sizes you will find are in the 5-6 foot range although they can be found ten feet or more long .

Here's a video of a double buck saw team in action. These folks are really slow, a good team would be through the log in about half the time.
