Hunting with Young River, my daughter

[Old River]

My daughter, and I made a little trip down to my site. We made some good relic finds. She found out what its like to crawl around under brush, and briars. It was a lot of fun, and had a great time. Lots of Square nails, and spikes, and other relics. No buttons this trip. Maybe the next time. Don't know what the long one is, maybe a file, or possibly a bayonet blade.

Nice find. Looks like it could be a bayonet. Would be great if it were.

Broken socket bayonet from long, long ago. The socket would still be on the rifle and the blade and curve broke off. Maybe. Maybe not. Might be a bent file but every file I have bent broke before it got that curved. They are brittle.

looks like a file that was bent, but would be nice if it was a bayonet...

Must have been a special hunt with your daughter! Does look like a bayonet. HH, Mike

I'm leaning toward it being a bayonet. It is not flat on both sides. one side is sort of rounded with a little high ridge down the middle of it. The end is round like a knive point. The sides does have a certian amount of taper to them. I appreciate the comments..It helps a lot. It was a hunt to remember with my daughter. We went out this afternoon, and made a couple of finds. It was to late to hunt very long though. Dark came fast, and we had a herd of wild hogs came into the field where we were hunting. About 10 of them.

Yea, looks like a bayonet at first, but after a 2nd look I think its a file with a bent handle.
