Hammered All Steel Hatchet

[TiBorn]

Found this relic earlier it's an all steel hatchet, the blade is small but sharp. It appears to have been hammered as it has scales. The top part of the shaft bends out so that whatever your chopping stays away from you. The only identifying mark appears to be a small crown.

* Update * - It was identified as a colonial hewing axe. Said to be about 200 years old.

Right on still would like to see pics. Is it posted some where else?

 

[TiBorn]

I'll get a pic of it now.

That is awesome. Where did you find that if you don't mind me asking. Great find.

It was found by me and my dad on his property just digging he had insisted we didn't need to use the detector so it was neat to even find something. It's one of the coolest tools I've ever seen and it's still very sharp.
