Smile My First Axe! In-situ pics

Hey everyone, I have been looking at some new fields to hunt and so today I decided to go ask the farmer for permission and luckily he was home. I asked permission and he told me "Well I already let a couple other people look there, I used to let just about anyone but it got too crazy, but if you are thinking of doing this today that would be fine, but today only". After about 5 hours of hunting I started getting a little disappointed because I had not found a single thing just flakes and not one single piece of worked flint. I had just about 2 hours of daylight left when I decided to switch to a field just down the road that he told me I could look in as well and that is where I found this sweet little axe. It has got some damage but for my first one I think it is awesome. I was so happy when I found it I was jumping up and down like a little girl. I figured that one day I would be lucky enough to stumble upon on but I sure did not think it would be today. The pictures are not a "true" in-situ because I was so excited I forgot I had a camera so I put it back where I found it and then took a picture, Thanks for looking.

Great looking Axe Douglas. Congratulations!!

I bet the people that saw me in the field the day I found my first complete Axe are still talking about the idiot they saw dancing around in the dirt field. lol
