Update at bottom in form of comment👇 had this marked as a potential site, from searching around my area on lidar. Did some more research on it last week. I also drove by to realize it was public property, so I went out there yesterday early afternoon and stayed until dark. It’s a lot bigger...

Found this in southwest Iowa in a dried up creek up in the hills.

Hello Everyone, Found the two pieces to this broken axe head on two different days metal detecting in NC - imagine my joy when I realized they actually fit together 😃 Anyway, from what I?ve gathered so far in doing a little research, the head shape seems to align with the one I?ve seen on...

My favorite field was harvested today! Last spring some of my best finds at the locations were a hard times token, a couple largies, and a navy button like today's (but not in as good condition), as well as a number of buttons and musketballs. Today was my first field hunt of the season and it...

Found these in the same yard. I hear there’sa way to date ace heads by shape. Not that it matters a whole lot, but someone might be interested! Any info on that? I don’t normally dig up chunks of iron, but these were both high dingers.

My son found these 2 axe heads in the same field near our house recently. They were found approximately 150 yards from one another. This field is on a site known to be a sugar mill site as well as a Civil War site. I would greatly appreciate anyone's input on identifying these axe heads along...

Howdy, I found this near Flagstaff Arizona. It was laying on top of the ground so I'm not sure it is super old, it is much dryer in Arizona though so who knows, maybe things don't sink as much there. Also, I'm not really looking for an axe head chart... I can find those anywhere on the internet...

I found an axe head on a plot of land that was given to an ex slave family by their master shortly after the Civil War ended. The plot of land was about 100 acres and the family expanded all the way until the 1990s where they sold all of the land. The dimensions of the axe head are 7 7/16 inches...

Hello and thank you. I am very new to metal detecting and forums, but after my back surgery I figured it would pass tjhe time and I really enjoy it. I haven't dug a bunch of treasure but have found some coins tokens TOY guns ECT. But I found a very nice (to me) axe head but cannot find any...

So yesterday I was detecting and got a very good copper/bronze signal 8 inches down. Dug down about 9 inches in 30 minutes until I saw the edge of an object I tried to get it out but then I gave up and after some time to convince me to get it out I tried and it took me an hour to finally unearth...

Hi folks, I'm new here, came here on the advice of a member who thought I should share some of my finds. If you have any information about these items, I'd love to hear from you, please. This is a marble type of item I found: Here's an axe head: and last, but most interesting is this. My...

axe head? i thought I would take advantage of the amazing morning light angles and try to capture the texture. So here are the photos... what do you think? it was found just under the water by the Farmington River bank in Central Connecticut.

Hi I saw the previous post on an old axe and wanted to give it a shot to see if y'all might help me. I'm thinking Jersey style... dug up on a turn of the century homestead (not to give it away). I'd really like to know more.

Found this axe head while in my garden. Can anyone tell approx age by looking at these photos? Or if you are unsure, maybe you can direct me to a resource where I can get an ID. Thanks for your help. Gina

Does anyone know about this style axe head? I found it metal detecting at an abandoned town in Vermont that was colonized in the late 1700s. The town was split up in 1855. It feels more like stone than metal. It measures 6-1/4 inches long.

Coke ovens, snakes, a possible grave, axeheads, an old lock, horseshoes, clock parts, and a potential gold ring was just a few of the things we found. However, the best part was doing the research and finding the town! Here are the links to 2 days of probably the best detecting I've done this...

Found all these items within about 10 yards of each other. Any help identifying would be appreciated.

I was metal detecting and thought, "It would cool to find a Native American artifact." Then I looked down and saw a strange stone that appeared to be worked on a while back. The place I was metal detecting had Native Americans living there, and is named after Native Americans. Anyway, do you...

My name is Jon and I am new to the forum. Although I know what this artifact is I am hoping to receive any additional information that this community can graciously provide for my father who found this artifact nearly 20 years ago. My father found this grooved axe head 90% buried at the base of...
