There is so much mining equipment left out here in AZ around old mines. Never seen one like that though.View attachment 2131569:View attachment 2131571:View attachment 2131572

Sandy1, I've been wondering if you or anyone else has ever ran across anything like this. I think the old man that retired & built his home place, must've found it while plowing deep to plant his corn. I found it laid up
on the top plate of his old chicken house, with some other old metal objects.
Nice findsHello friends, I found this heart on my site, I was reviewing the guide from the beginning, and it is very similar to one of them.

Way too small for a wood splitting wedge. No one that valued their hands & fingers, would ever attempt to try and split wood with it, being only 5" overall length. . . .
Your pic looks more like a tree "felling" wedge, likely for logging, that would be about right. If you've ever split much wood, you would know that short a wedge would more than likely get hung up before the wood completely split most the time. Oh, no guard made on it like mine, which only has a 2" chisel end. That has almost 5" of wedge, not 2". Also, the top appears to be about 2" wide or more, & is bigger than the tip, & heavily mushroomed where you'd strike it, & it's not smaller at the top like mine, which is also barely mushroomed.Looks like an old wood splitting wedge.

Sorry, you don't prove anything at all finding that short old tree "felling" wedge.
And It don't look 300 yrs old either. But I understand, you both just can't resist the tease.
CDS I believe what you have is called a Hardy its a blacksmithing tool used with a anvil and forge, and that's an old one you got there.Good find keep the faith and stay safe.View attachment 2131569:View attachment 2131571:View attachment 2131572

The Turtle the Owl the Hummingbird the Eagle the Duck the Rabbit the Heart the Diamond the Triangle and the shaft sign are the most common signs I have found at treasure sites.Some friends are always against the signs and symbols of others. Can you tell me what signs and symbols that you accept?
I didn't mean you. You are the teacher and I thank you. I mean those who oppose all the signs of others.The Turtle the Owl the Hummingbird the Eagle the Duck the Rabbit the Heart the Diamond the Triangle and the shaft sign are the most common signs I have found at treasure sites.
If you say so. What would it have been used to do? There weren't any blacksmith shops around here,CDS I believe what you have is called a Hardy its a blacksmithing tool used with a anvil and forge, and that's an old one you got there. Good find keep the faith and stay safe.
The Big Three, greatly simplified: the spiral ("all the stars in heaven"); the very, very faint old concentric circles ("sun and its derivatives"); the outlined cross ("mark of possession").I didn't mean you. You are the teacher and I thank you. I mean those who oppose all the signs of others.
What do you think about these two photos?The Big Three, greatly simplified: the spiral ("all the stars in heaven"); the very, very faint old concentric circles ("sun and its derivatives"); the outlined cross ("mark of possession").
The usual "Spanish treasure signs" were nearly all created by more recent folks for misdirection. One exception to this rule may be the turtle below with seven dots on his shell. It's found in a strategic location (minerals, history, legend).

I'm not a geologist. Looking at the photos and not the actual rocks, my opinion would likely be that it's some sort of natural phenomenon and not man made.What do you think about these two photos?
