My boyfriend and I have looked and looked and finally today with 6hrs of searching we found our very first Indian artifact. Not sure if this is called an ax head or maul but very cool and we were thrilled. The end is still crisp and sharp. Found in NW Missouri
Is the end shaped like a cutting blade or is it blunt. I can't tell from photo, just can see some wear pattern on the end. A axe will have a knife like end and a maul will be more of a blunt end. If you can show a photo of the bit end. Great find either way
