Hello and thank you to all members for the wealth of knowledge and experience I have been reading thru here for the past few weeks!!
Below is the ax head my five year old son found while we made our routine quest for treasures in our woods, just about a month ago. He found a corner poking up thru the soil and leaf debris layer and we unearthed this buried treasure!!
This is the axe head that realized and brought forward my axe and hatchet passion.
My wife and I bought my grandparents home(that he built in 1935 on land never built on prior that he purchased in the late twenties)from my parents and started our family.
I plan, if you all think it's worth it, to hang, file and stone sharpen to use this Collins Legitimus...that I believe was my grandfathers near where they had an old backyard brick bbq incinerator.
Please chime in all and give me your opinion, any information and advice.
Thank you!!

I live half an hour from Collinsville CT and 20 minutes from Canton and Hartford...
I never realized the rich history of Collinsville, Collins before this treasure was found!!!
I am hooked!!!!
Thanks for looking everyone!!!
I also found a Plumb marked genuine plumb, possibly a boys ax, in a box in the basement and possibly an East wing one piece hatchet possibly from 1970, numbers on the handle 3-1-70.
