Hey guys, I'm posting this here because it looks like the real deal to me. Albeit damaged. I always wanted to find a trade axe. It only took me a hundred or so axe heads to get there. 
I've been working this new spot I located by overlaying old maps. Anyway it was my third time there and I pulled a large cent. I didn't know it was an 1818 at the time because I don't rub coins in the field. 
That turned out to be the oldest large cent with a readable date I've ever found. Pretty stoked about that to say the least. I worked on it with my andre pencils after I got home. Which I highly recommend by the way. Anyway, the very next signal I knew was iron but I decided to pull it anyway. Gotta see what's in the ground! As soon as I saw it I mumbled out loud, "trade axe?" It took a bad hit at some point in the past but it doesn't matter cause its a trade axe. Right? Ha! I got several more buttons. One looks silver plated with my favorite word on there, "London." Also one looks to be an early pewter button. I know they had trade axes and belt axes and different types. Any insight are welcome. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Good Hunting!
