Possible 1850`s Axle

[Rodney B.]

I`m haveing a little problem with the date and the exact identification of the 4 axles I dug up useing a metal detector on our farm late 2007 and was wondering if I could scan a picture and have one place it with this post for proper identification.

I would need to scan the picture through email.
Thanks,
Rodney in southern Ga.

Hi Rodney, welcome to TNET. W e would love the chance to help you out, use the "add images" below by

Can`t say that I know how to place a 35mm photo with this topic.

Your picture, would need to be scanned to your computer or burned to cd through a photo store
such as Walgreens photo center etc. Once on the disc, it can be copied to your computer.

Is it an actual photo,,if so is it in an email already?

Does the item you found look similar to this?

This is one of the four stage coach axles I found on our farm late 2007. The warped rims of the stage coach that I have mostly caused this failure you see.
It was mostlikely over loaded that started the failure and it layed on our property for possibly 150 years before I found it

Can anyone give an aprox. date on the busted axle above.
Thanks,

Rodney,,

Rodney
What town are you in and I can probally give you the name of the stage line that ran through there along with specifics on the stage axle.....

The area where the parts were dug up would be east of Funston Ga. in south west Ga..
The county is colquitt and the county seat is Moultrie.
Whats left of the metal frame work was found with a metal detector along with the other 3 axles and 2 warped metal rims.
Looks like they salvaged the 2 good rims since the 2 large nuts on those were removed.
Good example of an old failure in my back yard.

There was movement into the plantations south of me from the north 1800`s. It could allso be a local coach in the area.
Who knows??

Thanks sage; I can`t wait untill the temps warm up again.
21 F. down here is rather cold.

One thing of interest aprox. 100 various other parts were dug up in very bad condition such as what I call connecting parts etc.
