Old axes dug from an army camp

My phone was stone cold dead while I was there, so no pics. Most had been in the ground a long while and had substantial material loss. Many of them had clearly welded bits. On most, the eyes were very thin or deformed due to material loss. This area had been plowed plenty of times over the last 150 years, so it was hard to tell what damage was original. As in, couldn't tell if they broke and got thrown away, or got thrown away and then broken.

The one that's top center in the original pic was either accidentally deformed just perfectly, or was an offset timber hewing axe. There are tons of "bushes" and few real "trees" down here, so a traditional broadaxe type hewing axe wouldn't have been useful at all.
