Could this be real?
« on: April 29, 2014, 09:45:26 pm »
My friend gave me this. He got it from a friend that is a bug man. He was spraying under a house and found it. Think it's real?
Sorry if I post in the wrong place.

I don't think so, the patina doesn't look right to me.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

The edge of the groove looks really clean and angular. dp

A top shot would be nice. There is usually some remnant of pecking on an axe.
I don't see any. A close up of the bit and grove would help.
Not sure this is the correct forum? The grove does look machine ground but I have seen many abo pieces that amaze me too.

The shape is what I find odd about it. I have never seen one that is curved on one side and straight on the other, mimicking the shape of a modern axe (almost like a fireman's axe). But then again, I haven't been all over the US. Where do you reckon it is from?

Scottski - I'm in Arkansas too. If you want me to find the nearest archeological research station to you, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you contact information for the nearest one to you (be sure and give me a general area or city). Interesting!

Cool more Arkansans, Scottski I have a grooved axe as well but it has a more of a rectangular overall shape with a more rounded pecked groove I will see if I can get a picture of it up this weekend.  What part of Arkansas are you from Dalton Knapper?

I have several with traditional form but here's an odd one I found in South Carolina years ago. Grooved all the way around in the middle, it has a chisel like front edge and the back end comes to a dull point with 4 rough edges. Rick B
