What Do You Think This Is?

[Americus]

I found this in 2007 in an awesome field that was sold and I no longer have permission to look. What do you think it is?

I would guess maybe a axe or a hoe?I am no expert.Whatever it is, it is a nice piece!

A big hafted axe or hoe I am guessing, but leaning more toward a digging tool. I supposed it would make a good chopper for getting through weeds, to get at edible or medicinal roots? May just be the photos or the ancient patina, but the material looks a little too soft or chalky to be a wood working tool, JMO. Nice find, whatever its original purpose.

Resembles a Guilford axe to me.. A very fine example of a chipped stone axe anyway

I go along with Gator on this one looks like a Guilford axe.

Nice whatever it is.

 

[Tnmountains]

Axe for sure. Great find and I like for it survives the plow!

With that rounded bit, I lean more toward a hoe or spade. Mighty nice, whatever it is.

I agree with Gator. And, it is a nice find for sure.
