Nice old wheats and IH. I can't make out the location on the knife or the name of the company to search it. Not important tho. However I know I found a carving knife in my back yard while gardening. You have to think, what were they using that type of knife outside for?

A knife and a bullet casing.....looks like someone brought a knife to a gun fight. :congrats:on the IH and wheat's. Was this a yard hunt or a park setting?

It got it's name from a fight between early surveyor's and indian's.

It's is a woods that butt's against where there use to be a school. A lot of it has been used for fill but there are a lot of spots where the ground is undisturbed.

Those are vintage/antique knives. You could find them on ebay and etsy anywhere from $6 up to $35 for the sets. Early 1900's. Judging by the lettering being electrically etched versus stamped into metal, it's probably older of the series E Parker made.
