Hoe Head

[chicepo]

My buddy Bill and I went to a plantation in Georgetown SC and found a couple of round balls and pottery. I got a good signal and started to dig and kept digging. It was about 8" down under the tree roots. Out pops a nearly intact hoe head. I found another one like this one last year the same place. It was a bit larger.
Does anyone know the age of this item?

Not sure how precise of an answer you will get, but we find those at our 200 year old sites.

Scrap off a bit of rust and send it to me so I can put it through a rustspectrometer...can gauge within plus/minus 200 years.
