dug up another one. this is axe head # 5 from my colonial site.
I could not imagine having to swing these things,
kills me just carrying them home.

transitional type axes :early 18th centuries. Transition for Trade Ax style to the American felling ax style!!
I would give them a nice E Bath as they should turn out real nice!!
Very cool
Very cool thank you again for the great info and ID. did some reading on the felling and colonial axes , very interesting read.
the small ax piece looks to possibly be an old belt ax . there was obviously a lot of work going on in this deep woods spot at one time ,
with a good amount of land clearing. hard to tell looking at it now, its thick. but with the things im finding something was out here.
as soon as i pick up another charger i`ll be setting up the Ebath and zapping a few items. burnt up my good charger last month .
