Common shingling hatchet. Yours late 19th/20th century, unless you can find forge welds.

And we know why it was discarded too.

Claw Hatchet. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,288342.0.html

Could be as early as mid-1800's.

Your welcome but why no green check? Its a mid 19th- 20th century claw hatchet. It looks to be factory made. We cannot ID it any further without visible markings. The claw is for pulling out nails.
