Hi Shelley,
Like Greg says, that is a nice celt, which is an ungrooved axe. It would have been hafted in a wooden handle for use. It is within a few thousand years old.
Very nice celt Shelly, Look around more intensly in your Grandpa's garden as there may be signs of flint and other artifacts in the general area. That is indeed a gem speciman, could you give us an idea on the length of it? That will help in giving you more information besides what it is. Great find!! Bill
If that was my garden it would be tilled clear to the clay bottom and I would screen out all the rock to give my plants a nice soft soil to grow in. You really do have a beautiful artifact.
