I found this handaxe two weeks ago and since then I have been returning to the find spot each evening and bringing home a rucksack full of mud to sieve. The axe had a shattered & lost tip...but I have been determined to save it
The first bit to be recovered was a small piece off the side, but over the two weeks with very fine sieving and washing I managed to locate a total of five pieces to get it to a reasonable state of repair. Today I was gluing and have now started the filling process. A lot more work to be done to complete it and I am still searching for the chip off the base.
