other ax head

[Wudnut]

The other day i post a picture of ax head found at a old stone cellar hole and the other found not far away but accidentally left it there. So today after work i went and retrieved it, I still need to clean them up some but found the one with what thought was wood handle is either a wedge or a make shift portion of metal handle. I am going to attempt to make a electrolysis bucket this week and see if that helps with cleaning. I am guessing they the from the early 1900- 1930's (just a guess.) Cant wait to go back and look some more.

I hope the lumberjacks lost some of their wages around that cellar hole.
