CT copper and hatchet

[Lodge Scent]

Got out this afternoon for a couple of hours to see what I could wrangle from the iron belt around one of my old cellar hole sites. The swinging wasn't easy but I did manage to get a toasty CT copper.

Reverse is toast but I can make out the AUCTORI CONNEC: on the obverse.

Also dug the little hatchet type tool:

The butt end has a broken spikey looking thing.

The closest thing that resembled it that I could find was a "milkman's" hatchet for cutting blocks of ice ???

Good luck to all in 2017!

Nice score on the copper! That hatchet looks unusual, never seen one like it before.

Grats on scoring a CT, Jeff. The woods are still diggable. The old road was partially frozen with ice on top, with areas that were muddy. Heck, even a yard was fine on Saturday. I have to get pics of those.

Could it be a colonial fighting axe (tomahawk)?

The woods are still diggable.
yep, and after this rain we might be in good shape! We are supposed to be holed up awaiting the spring thaw... but you're digging coppers!! Congrats!!

Thanks Gents. Yep, it was good just to get out and good to dig a couple of keepers. I think I will add that little hatchet to the "electrolysis" pile of iron waiting to be cleaned.
