Question
Hello,  I found a tool of some kind all metal or something of that nature.  It looks like a machetti or chopping tool it appears to be very old. It has a very rough finish is still a pit sharp.  It has many pits in the surface.  Would this be of interest to anyone.  Thank You

Answer
Hi Patty,

If you can send me a pic via email, I would be able to tell you a lot more about the object.  Also please tell me where it was found and the circumstances of your discovery of the object.

Please send it to my email at rsalier@hotmail.com
