Trade Axe?

Is this a trade axe? If so what period?
Phantom axe? Circa Oct 3, 2022? :rolleyes:

Hi Bob. I'm having difficulty posting a pic. I found the original thread in Nov. 13 2020 with a pic. I was somewhat unsure of the answers back then.

Was there other artifacts in association with it or close by, where and how found, in what context? Context means a lot here I think, so you would have a better idea than anyone else.

It does have the appearance in form of a trade axe, those would have inserted steel bits but so do all older axes.

There are those who could tell more about it by an analysis of the steel and iron used.
 
garry3, it was found in a approx. 20 acre pasture outside a small town in which I have been hunting for 11 years. I have found everthing from early 1800's to modern trash. I have found relics like 1800's coins, civil war, pre and post, early 1900 axes, locks, token's etc. The county has a history of early Indian activity. Like the Caddo, Delaware, Cherokee. It was the last village before being kicked out of Texas by Maribu Lamar, President of the Texas Republic. There is a long history in Cherokee county Texas. I hope this helps.

You might want to consider talking to your state or local university archeologist about it, if you haven't already. They should be interested and could be of some help. It's been my experience that most of them guys are very passionate about their field and very down to earth. I've only ever met one that was an exception to that.

If you do I would like to hear any updates.

I'll keep you posted and thanks.
 
Wow that’s neat. Thank you for sharing. It’d be interesting to know how it was lost.
