This has always been my most sought after artifact and after 20+ years of searching I finally found one. Its in rough shape and maybe an unfinished piece but that doesn't matter to me I am thrilled!!! Oh and found a heartbreaker about 50 yards from where the axe was, I think it would have been a killer etley. Anyone have any ideas of the age of the axe please let me know I am no expert in axes as this is my first one!!

Wow! Nice. Congrats
 

Awesome find! Congrats on a nice axe head ! I bet your still smiling and holding it ..... I know I was when I found my first .... also took 20 years of dreaming about one till it happened for me too.
That broken blade is killer too looks like your on a good spot , is the axe 3/4 groove or full ? I couldn’t tel from pics

Thank you! Yes I am, cant believe it, its still sinking in!.. The axe is a 3/4 groove.. Yes that blade is a heartbreaker that would have been a absolute killer hope to find more there!
 

Good Going! :icon_thumleft: Now you can sleep a little better and not worry about finding one.
 

Nice!!

You don’t see a newly found axe on here very often!!
 

Nice. The 3/4 grooves if memory serves are middle to late archaic, at which point they went to celts.
 

Fantastic find.

Congratulations.
 

Nice artifact save. That is a really great find. I have only found one ax also. Your in the groove now....
 

You nailed it, Congrats! Still haven't even found a single arrowhead...
 

Congrats on the find. Generally it’s a middle archaic ish timeframe. Really nice.
 

Thank you all I am still very excited about the find! thanks for the approx. age as well I appreciate that!!!
