3/4 Grooved Ax for Fathers Day!

[fldwlkr]

The corn is thick and the beans are coming on in SW Ohio so I was off to the creeks and ravines today. My "Big Sandy" gravel bar didn't give up any flint but it did hand over a 1920-30's cork top.

A mile hike in the heat brought me to one of my ravines for the day and it handed me a vintage marble.

The ravine held lots of broken glass but no arrowheads as I climbed it. I got to my usual turn around and was outa water so I started back. In a pile of stones and mud I noticed that one of the rocks had a groove in it. NO WAY... Yes way. My first 3/4 grooved ax.

Damaged but still a sweet find worthy of a little happy dance.
Thanks for looking, fldwlkr

The old bottle and marble would have made my day Tim.
This however would have made my year.

Thanks all for the positive comments. Lukecreekwalker, I had come to the opinion that they just weren't in my area but obviously I was wrong. Bruce, hope the trip went well for you. What is it about these marbles? We all find them while searching for other stuff. Another item I can research.
good luck out there, fldwlkr

Those marbles remind me of a time in my youth when there were no hassles and every day was a play day.

Dang that's shiny! Great Hunt

It's wet for the picture to show off the material. When dry it's a gray/green with nice polish on the bit and groove.
