Not only that but also yours are the first human hands to touch that in 3000 years!!!!! Here in the States we consider things from the 1700's old and whenever I find something that old one of the first things that comes to mind is that I am the first person to hold that item after all those years!!!!

WTG on a Great find!!!!!

What a fantastic example, well done and it don't matter what machine it was with.

Are you in the UK?

Makes you wonder? Was it dropped by its owner after a battle to the death? Was it discarded because it was broken? Or was it simply lost/misplaced? I love this hobby and the glimpse into the past it provides us. Great Find!!

I don't think it's an axe - I think it's what's called an adze. Beautiful find!!
