I dug this 12 deep where settlement of Lexington occurred mid-1770's... same spot I found 1838o seated dime! Perhaps a blacksmith tool or for slicing & gutting animals (note the HOOK at the tip of handle). It's pretty heavy\durable- the hook is strong, pic doesn't do it justice... lol I am so curious what it is/makes me think of settlers learning from local N. Americans, that it prob dates back to colonial times... but a little small for weapon?
