Found some old tools

[SkyPirate]

Did a little detecting on Friday at a site that dates from the 1800's up to the 50's. I found these three tools. I was wondering what the middle one is? It is about 9.5 inches long.

Hello SkyPirate. The middle one looks like an ax head called an adze. They are used for making a level surface on a piece of wood which is real useful for building log cabins...I suppose. Nice finds and HH.

I was thinking adz too, but since you found two hoes, it could be a root chopper in the old homesteaders garden.

Great finds. You are well on your way to starting a farming business.

My guess is also root chopper. In my opinion it doesn't have the right shape to be an adz. Note the curve on the blade, absent on Skypirate's find.
