       "Saddle Axe” found with a metal detector by fellow researcher “TINA HERZOG” at the base of an very large oak tree  Notice the upper left side of the blade has seen trauma most likely due to chopping ice, accessing food and water.  The “Saddle Axe”, handy and well balanced was utilized by lumber scouts marking tree harvesting boundaries while remaining on horseback.
