Axe head

[wetfly]

Found this double blade axe about four inches down in an alley a block away from an old firehouse -- any ideas how to preserve it or Maybee it's already too far gone? Thanks !!

It's your treasure. It's never gone too far. Look at the cutting edge. if you can see a seam, it was hand forged!

Nice find wetfly. If you let it sit in hot water and dish soap detergent and take a brush to it - you will be surprised how much dirt (looks like rust) comes off. I cleaned one up (I know - you shouldn't clean them up - lose value). I sprayed some clear protector on it. It cleaned up real nice and it is now on my desk as a paper weight.
