This full groove broken axe poll, found on the same creek as my favorite three quarter groove axe and the small roller pestle, was broken at the groove. Found 12/07/2003 in Hancock County Indiana.
I had been walking the field and was heading out. As I got into the dark loam ground of a boggy area, I seen the axe poll laying on the ground, poll up. I was hoping the axe was complete, but to my surprise when I lifted it, all of the axe was indeed showing above ground. It's an interesting axe break.
I have found a few axe bits with part of the facing. At least I think that's the case. It's difficult to determine if that sort of broken relic is part of a celt or part of an axe. I theorize it's an axe because the majority of celts and adz's I have found in this area are 2 to 4 inches in length and rather thin.
Judging from the lack of sharp edges in the break area, it's an old break. I have not found the other part(s) of this axe - yet.
