Found this large axe head at a Civil War battlefield site in South Louisiana a couple of days ago! There was a lot of built up Confederate entrenchments in the area but also years of sugarcane farming! Would love to hear from the experts of a way of dating certain shapes and sizes of axe heads! Saw a couple of online carts but hard to tell the difference between each one without being a "axe man"! I know it's NOT a artillery shell or cannonball but love to figure out a little history of this recent find! Thanks for any and all help!
The mud was so thick, it stuck to the axe head like cement!
After a light cleaning but before electrolysis!
