Anyway, here is an axe head that I found along the Oconee River in Georgia.

You said you found it along the river, do the rivers there change course continually? is the axe head fairly recent do you think? it doesn't look that worn really...up here the river near me has moved 100 yds in less than 100 years. Making it hard to find stuff because I dont know where it was 200 years ago.



This was found along the Oconee River in Baldwin County Georgia. No the river hasn't changed course or I would have seen the other channels.

Whitey came in about 1804 to start the town of Milledgeville nearby, of course there would have been isolated log cabins etc for several decades prior to that. I mean, by 1780 old Big Buffalo could have gotten a steel axe head in trade so I would think this thing was made prior to 1750 or so.

I mean, other than that, how do you tell if it is 300 years old, or 3,000 years old? Can you imagine how much work it would be to make a stone axehead with stone tools.

Interesting, heck of a nice find.
