First ax

[collector01]

Went to the field I have found several points in this year after the storms last night. I got two arrowheads and my first ax well I believe it's a ax. It's 3/4 grove. The cool part is how I found it. I was detecting and looking around at the same time when I saw a piece of nice flint. When I went to pick it up I stuck my shovel in the ground to free up a hand and it struck something. Around here there's not many rocks so I pried up on the shovel and the ax popped out of the ground. I couldn't Believe it. Of all places I stuck my shovel right on top of it, that must be 1 in a billon chance lol. HH!

Now that is an axe! The relic gods were smiling on you.Looks to be a rare one/type not often seen. Congratulations to you. One heck of an artifact.

Really nice and long axe Collector01 ! I don't think I have seen one quite like that before, and the way you found it was just meant to be. We have a sandy knoll on our farm up in QA County, where there are not any natural rocks to be found either, just artifacts. Last season I started carrying and old camp fire hot dog cook cooker with me when I walk. It is just a metal pole with 8 smaller metal skewers on the end that I poke 6 inches into the ground to feel for rocks. We have found two flake tools and one point that way. HH

Thanks for all the comments! And rock you will get yours, after 22 years I've only got a Celt and now the ax. Both a couple days after my birthday 20 years apart. Just go out a couple days after your next birthday and you'll get one.

Man!! The picture of that axe sitting in the dirt sure is pretty! That is a long axe. I would think it's quite a bit rarer than most grooved axe heads.

That is really a beauty. Never seen one like it.
