Found what I think is a copper celt

I found this a few months ago with my metal detector, it was very deep, about 12 inches down. I live in North Central Indiana on the Tippecanoe River. Any help with an ID would be appreciated. Thank you, Rick

Absolutely what it is. Great find. I found one that was about 5 inches long way up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Never seen one that small! Good job!

Thank you very much Ryaan, I really did not know where to go or who to ask. There is not that much info out there.

Swamp,
Sure looks like a flare-bit copper celt/adze. I would love to see better pics of it. Please contact me about the piece. My email is jondickinson75@cinci.rr.com.
