Bronze age tools or just bits ?

[joesdigs]

I all. I'm back again looking for some help. I found these 3 items all close to each other and all close to where I found the Bronze Age axe head and spear head, these look really similar to some ingots or Bronze Age tools I've seen before. The piece closest the coin has a sharp chisel like edge, Anyone know ? Cheers all

all In a 10 foot radius,, the axe head and spear head were found a few months ago.

It sounds like a smelters hoard, especially if the items were broken.

Welcome to TreasureNet what country did you find this in, and can you show some different angles...is it bronze?

Are these finds for sure bronze or could they just be only copper? It may be better for you to find a knowledgeable person in your area to physically look at your finds. That way you can tell us what they say about your very unique artifacts. I will say, some items sure look like bronze or copper that is very old. That point is odd and looks like stone to me in your picture.

I found this object on the beach it was encrusted so when I got home I opened it an this is wat was inside.i havnt done anything to it but run it under water.its defo metal and in some places looks kind of silvery.i wil keep u posted when I get it checked out,cant do that until Monday as the curator is on leave.

Looks like bits ready for melting, so SS is probably on to something with the foundry theory.
