It sure was a dreary rainy day today. Fall is definately in Vermont and the leaves are turning. Spent about four hours in an old field that dates to the early-mid 1800's. Found a nice forged hatchet that I believe was used for shingles. Probably mid 1800's. Thanks for looking. Lance

It looks a lot like a Union battle axe. What do you think? Tsgman

That is a mega find!!!!!!! ;)
 
That's a nice one Lance. I found one of those this summer hand said to myself this is a weird looking axe head.

I held onto it though. Now I know what I have. Looks like you have alot of great books on hand.
