Found this axe head and have started to restore it. It’s labeled M Collins cast steel warranted. I believe it’s a “Jersey” head or maybe “southern Kentucky”. Info on these things is limited but I can’t find one like it online. Me and bladerunner2019 have been pounding this spot. It’s given up several different Union and a couple confederate buttons, 4 coins ranging from1820s to 1864. The button is rough but it’s my first confederate button! Yes! Finally. We’ve found very very little modern trash. Just a few shotgun shells.
The axes I’ve seen online all ha e different maker marks. If anyone knows or can point me in the right direction on the axe thank you in advance. 9743DB38-4868-410C-A5C7-09441A442661.webp9D22E1D8-DCFC-4AA3-90AE-5BAF0D69EA8A.webp7A0F2909-74FD-4DA0-BC3A-3A125DF91F2E.webp036687EA-002B-438E-9514-6419EA5B23D7.webp036687EA-002B-438E-9514-6419EA5B23D7.webp26B1020C-6C93-40F2-8BA5-28CC5E5F2BDE.webp

Very nice. If you don’t get info here, there are some experts who video their restorations on YouTube. One might be able to provide you with more info.
