Double axehead day

[Diggit]

Not "Today's find".. Three days ago actually. Two single bitted axe heads about 20 feet apart. Sorry about the crappy pics, mine is borked and I took them with my friend's.

I don't know much about axe heads, can anyone tell anything from the pics as far as date?

they were found at 10 and 12" respectively with a White's DFX and Super 12 coil in EEPROM deep Silver custom program. Location was a demolished farm house from the Mid 1800s in Central Michigan.

Based on condition and location, I would guess mid to late 19th century.

Yeah, that would coincide with the date of the farmhouse. (built in 1860, demolished in 1980)

seem to find a lot of old ax heads, I still think they are cool.
I am not sure about the ones you have there.
Check out this thread, Ax Head show Room by BuckleBoy, there is a lot of good info.
