Any idea on possible date?

Hey fellow tnetter’s. Been lurking, not detecting. Finally got out for a bit during end of storm today. Got a 1935 mercury dime and this. I think it is old but would like to hear from the people in the know. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and happy hunting!

As I watched the news last night and saw the waves crashing in MA, I told my wife there'd be a lot of guys out MDing the coast today. I was busy trying to clear away 5" of ice / snow mix. It was like concrete. Nice finds.

They're usually referred to as shingling hatchet or roofing hatchet. They still make them today looking pretty much the same so it's tough to nail down a specific date range. I just found my first of those last month at an 1840's to 1860's site for example. Associated finds at your site might give you a better idea of the approximate date so definitely keep hunting there!
