Yes....yes it is. The bit next to it was a shot from a different angle

The trip prior I got an 1877 dime...right above it.

Are you searching near a coal mine? Looks like mining relics.

I think it is more likely a wedge than an axe.

I have dug them from around coal mines and salt peter mines. Have pulled out 4' hand drill bits as well.

Looks like a hot chisel.

It's a hammer for shaping stone bricks.
