managed this today , bronze age axe head,  i think i'm correct,  sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong

Yes bronze age flat axe , one of the early types. Well done.

Lovely find David congratulations, well it's virtually impossible to find anything older made of metal in the UK so you might as well give up now :D Not 100% but think it's a Migdale type flat axe so 2.200 to 1.900 BC ;)

. Excellent well done

Ya know,sometimes, just sometimes these absolutely unique and intrinsically beautiful objects come to the surface,all thanks to the likes of dedicated metal detectorists like David,Well done mate,and congratulations on a truly magnificent specimen axe👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

Thanks for your comments for your nice comments ,  i googled it and found that someone else had found one in worcstershire same measurements exactly ie 12 cm

That one had been dated 2500 bc by some expert

A really fantastic find David, congratulations mate.  ;)

Well done sir

Brilliant find well done

congratulations on that......... 8)

Very nice :)

Very well found David.  Told you you'd find some more nice finds in that field.  Wonder what you'll find next   :o

Hi val , yes i was hoping to find more stuff but did not expect something so old was hoping for more hammy, s of course , but not dissapointed at all

How is the gold field doing have you been back ?

Nice!

Great find David ;)

Hi David, yes, went back armed with some netting spikes for markers.  Spent 2 hours going back and forth over the area but sadly no more gold coins.  I did find a few bits & bobs I'd missed first time though, mostly domestic like a tiny thimble and lots of bits of cut lead, probably off flashing.
Field pretty well off limits now, the crop is well and truly up. I have found out that the Farm has been used as a meeting point for the Hunt for many years so I reckon the gold coin is a one off pocket loss.
It's been very nice finding the coin but I had more pleasure from finding the Lizzy hammered. I know there has been a farm there way back to the Normans and probably before. It's great proving a theory.
I'd love to find an axe head. I've found worked flints but an axe is something special, you lucky man.

Hi val, i know what you mean as you say could be a one off , on many a field we have all found one of this or one of that and then expect the field to be full of stuff, get all excited mark it out , grid it,   a few hours later the reality dawns , i ve done that so many time' s.

 That was what i expected after a brief look over those new fields found the hammy within a few minutes , so ok great expectations hours later nothing else of note.

Did manage the axe head though in the next field and in the process of gridding that out , theory being if bronze age man lost that what else has he lost , the torc is just around the corner .

 :D :D :D :D    way to go Dave   ;D
