AU_Solitude Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 This is #5 (in one piece) for the year. It seems crazy they discarded so many of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiagold Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have found probably 15-16 before. I have the better ones in my relic garden. I found one that has "blank" iron works stamped on it. Not sure if "blank" was a company name or town. I think somewhere I heard a relic detectorist mention Philadelphia iron works. good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDancer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 How about, and ax or my fav :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Here's one I dug out of an old drywash tailings pile a few weeks ago. It was deep. Thought it was gonna be a big specimen nugget Found lots of axe heads poking around old ruins over the years too. Some guys clean them up and sell them on eBay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are rusty except one from a tailing pile. so it never rusted much. also it went thru 2 fires in the past. it has douglas axe manufacturing and william hunt stamped on it. I have a couple regular wood axes also. Nice picture dancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Solitude Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've just tossed them back in the hole before back filling, guess I could have saved a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
