How old is my new forged axe head?

[TheJake]

Took my metal detector to the farmhouse in Vermont. The house dates from the 1790's. We have an old foundation on our 26 acres where I found an old axe head. It looks as though it was forged and folded, but I was wondering if somebody could authenticate that, and perhaps narrow the date for me?

Hey guy... I can't begin to age this head for you... but totally cool find. Around 9-10 years ago I mentioned their late Grandpa had an old MD to my grandson's one day. They were about 13-14 then. After I mentioned it, it was a done deal getting it out and letting them "try". SO..... I get out this OLD White's Coinmaster MD. Now I got to go to store and buy a ton of D batteries. I put them in and the darn thing comes alive... I was surprised. We live high on a remote ridgetop in Middle TN. with NOTHING around except woods, rock and more woods. They take off for the woods with shovel in hand. They return QUICKLY with a double edged ax head... Go figure!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep digging guy... good job.
