Can't help on the dog but is the wedge sort of thing an axe head or something? I found one very similar just recently. Seemed too small to be an axe to me. Chisel?

Thanks!
 
Yea that's an axe head. .. they are small. . Some are bigger but its a bronze age axe head
 
Nice Axe, looks like you might have a very good site there :icon_thumleft:

This, I suppose is just a modern day chisel or wedge?

Looks to be a broken wedge indeed..
 
The dog head item is very similar to a Colonial period sword pommel device that I saw here a while back - that one made Banner because it
was silver if I remember correctly . Outstanding find !
 
Hey argentium... I have ot on a whst is it thread.. gtyong some really great info on it.. have a peek :) and thanks for your comments

I agree. It Looks Like A Pommel Or Pole Topper Of Some Sort. Pictures Are To Dark To Tell For Sure.
 
At first look I would say sword pommel. Keep us updated on the ID
 
Ho magnum. . If you go to the whst is it forum..we have a thread going there with grest info coming on it.. :)

I saw it. Ho? Lol. I will look at my book when I get home, any way you can get a clearer pic?
 
There are other sword pommels in the book with lions heads but this seems to be the best match. A clearer pic would help but the closest I can find is an American light dragoon saber (#14 Neumanns pg 256). It looks like a good candidate for your piece. If so, great find! Check out the pics & description from the book. If this is it fantastic find!

There was no Bronze age in the Americas, is it copper?
