My brother came over to work on the computer , so I had to Watch his son who is about 4 years old , so I grabed my outlaw and said lets go find treashure, , So away we went and i figured well we will just search in the dirt drivway. 1st signal was a nail , then after that a big sound , so I had camden digging but it seemed a bit deep , so i started digging and down about 12 " was a large Iron object, and after some prying out it comes, it was an old hand made ax that was used for a splitting wedge to many times, and they smashed it , as the sides are thin they gave way I figure they used another ax to pound on it as it is bowed down in the middle of the back , I have now found at least 3 like this , and several others broke in half, maybe they did not have spliting Wedges in the day never know what you will find in the drivway SO the archeoligic evidence suggests this theay heated with wood , and had to split lots of wood often the ax got stuck in the log being split so they had to grab another ax and hammer it thru this eventully bent it out and the handle came off it was then discarded, I could see this man sweating wiping his brow and swinging the ax hard and pop the log would split in half. and one day he felt the handle getting loose and after a few more hits it failed (cot darn axx junk ) the farmer said but low he split 20 cord of wood before it broke
