Popular Post F350Platinum Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 Finally got around to investigating this odd piece of iron I dug a couple days ago. At first I thought it was a leaf spring, then "Lensed" it, and some sword crossguards came up. Couldn't find an iron one, and this one has a slight curve in its length as well as its width. This morning I took a wire brush to it, and lettering appeared: It reads "iron age". Looked that up, and found this: In the early 1900s there was a company that made farm and garden tools called Iron Age. This must be a part of one of these tools/machines. Usually I don't investigate iron I dig, but I'm glad I did this time. ? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It is called a double shovel. Used on a push plow to make furrows in the garden. I use mine all the time in my garden with different attachments. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this sort of stuff is interesting here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I agree. Figuring out a find and the site is a lot of the fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
