Another Central VA find--could clean it off a bit more. Some kind of axe?

Size ?

Ha--sorry.

Yep some type of little hoe or chopper thing! I actually have one just like it I found here in Central Va. Same size and material.

Great find, Huzzah! I am still looking for my first. I know they are up here in the northern Shenandoah valley......sooner or later. Thanks for the post!

Appears to be a hoe at that size.....nice artifact save.

Thanks for the replies--and the info! I'm just glad I can still find such items where I go. Points are great to find but coming across tools like this takes it to the next level!
