Reply #4 - Sep 3^rd, 2018 at 10:51pm I'd agree with the Harrow blade, or possibly a Plow Culter. How far back do you have survey maps for the area? How far down was it? If it's a Harrow or plow blade, it could easily be anywhere from 17th century to 19th century from examples I've seen from over here in the States.
