Someone found this pickaxe. Is anyone have any ideas when it was made and how it was made?

located the item while metal detecting in Bar Harbor, Maine during low tide.  It has a very wood grain appearance.

I couldn't get the photo to open, where it's is located might help to ID it.

We won't remember that after leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show your location.

The picture opened up and from it, I doubt it will ever be identified. Probably was hand forged by some long gone blacksmith but that's just a wild guess.

Deffinately looks like wrought iron to me, possibly with steeled points? 

May be a very old anchor.

Forged from wrought iron.
