Gardening hoe

[Barrydang]

I found this a few weeks back the screw is from me attempting electrolysis. Rightor wrong might do it again too it any info on before and after prep would be appreciated but like to know the approximate age when it was most likely used I can’t myself find this style it usually has a pick on the other end when I see this shape but it doesn’t seem to have had a pick on the other end.

1800s grub hoe or eye hoe , I've seen it called both.

I have one out in the tool shed. It has a straight cutting edge, and is good for cutting sod.

There is no need to drill a hole into a relic and attach a screw to it. You could damage a valuable, historic item. All you have to do is wiggle and jiggle the alligator clip to the relic. This will give a good contact the the metal. If there is too much rust, I sometimes use the end of a file to dig rust off, then attach the clip.

I attach to relics with a beam clamp . cost $1.50 and really grip.

Ok thanks for the information. I wouldn’t drill into anything I thought had a load of value. I found that and used that to see how it worked and to give it a try.
