ya gotta know( fur trade axe ?)

[aa battery]

because if you dont nobody else will. This was found sticking out of the river bank near where the shell was found last week.I told my daughter someone here suggested that some relics may be in the area of the shell and keep an eye out. Yesterday the girls and boyfriend found this half buried in the riverbank but it has an odd shape for an axe if thats what it is. From its condition i think its fairly old.

I don't think its as old as your thinking but I could be wrong. Part of a more modern boat prop would be my guess to

I say, Axe (and you shall receive )

Modern props are more likely stainless or aluminum and older props more likely brass/bronze.

Agree with the ax / axe idea - since they were folded when made I can see it rusting that way.
