Who knows their oxknobs? I think I might have found my first one.

I always wonder why people carry tools like you found into the woods. Neat finds, is that an axe head? thumbsup01
 
looks like a axe man's wedge to me , we find them from time to time out here too. usually used before the forties because by the time the fifties rolled around heavy machinery was being used to clear the forests . cool find Larry its hard to tell from the photo but the oxknob looks a little to big and almost all the ones we find are threaded inside and have a hole for a setscrew on the side. although i can't completely rule it out . i'm just counting the days to when i finnally get to detect out in them woods :smitten:
