Found Missing Tool

[DHD]

Back in the mid 1960s my dad and I cut and haul firewood from this area.
Look what I found just a couple of days ago.

I bet that brought back a lot of old memories !!

So, its been there undisturbed for 50 years?!?

That is amazing.

That land has been in our family for more than 100 years.
I only recall us cutting wood there during the 1960s.
Not sure of my family's wood cutting activity in that spot before that.

What is that thing? And do trees normally eat things like that?

It looks like there could have been wood between those two bell-shaped things to the left.

Maybe it was drawn through the ground to cut roots when clearing an area?

Trees will grow around most any stationary object given time. I have seen old farm equipment with trees grown in them that have grown around frame work etc..

I must be mis-judging the scale of the pic. I thought it looked too large to be a hand tool. I know men were men back then. :laughing:

Put a new handle on it, sharpen, and it would likely be better than what you can buy today
