Spanky, I think I heard something like "Keep your friends close, and your Axes closer" er sumpthin like that !

[spanky]

Dang it Joe thought we was friends. First time I post anything in awhile things have changed a bit. Pic not as clear as it looked in file though. Wish we had more around here, guess have to go buy one.

Here is a nice Axe from Ks. A friends friend was riding ATV around and found it and called him because he knew he collected. He describe it to him because he wasn't sure what it was but thought it had a use. The friend knew right away and was gone to pick it up. Sure he said thanks and to keep a eye open when he goes that way again. Lucky guy to have a friend like that. Don't think JOE would do that for me do you.

NOT....two halves of anything...or halves of axes. That is some pretty rough quartzite there. Sorry, not a heartbreaker!

South Carolina axes must be pretty rare, huh. Thanks for posting yours. Ray

[Butch Wilson]

Ray, those are some beauties, I have only found one. This one from South Carolina has a few dinks and dings, she ain't pretty, but I will never part with it.

Hi Ray,
   Those are great finds even up there in the land of polished axes where you are. How many polished axes have y'all found over the years?

  Thanks Cliff. I have found 4 complete or nearly so and several broken ones. Ray
