Went out yesterday to a creek I've been to twice but never found anything. The third times the charm! My brother found a nice reworked arowhead into a scraper. Then we waited out a storm under a tree but still got completly soaked. As soon as the rain let up we knew the water would be on the rise so the race was on. Fifteen minuites later I found this. The water came up a foot in the next hour, and by the time we came back down the stream the axe would have been under water and maybe washed away if I hadn't rescued it.

What a beauty! :icon_thumright:
 

Cool piece and cool in-situ. Having never found an axe myself I appreciate the scene greatly. Thanks for sharing.
 

I took a new pic of the axe to show the size and depth of the groves.

I missed this post from before, I'm glad someone brought it back up to the top.

That is a very nice piece, congratulations on finding such a beautiful relic.

Like Joshua, I missed this post the first time around as well. That is one very sweet Axe and definitely worthy of the Banner. It gets my vote for sure.
