Hi all, I was born in Macclesfield and lived in Wilmslow for the first 13 years of my life, before my family emigrated to New Zealand some 13 years ago.

I am 26 now, and tonight, while sorting through a box of childhood treasures I re-discovered my "cool stone collection" Amongst the stones was an object which since the day I found it, I have believed to be an old axe head.

After some googling on the subject, I think it may be a neolithic stone, or possibly a bronze flat axe head.
It measures just on 100mm in length, and 60mm across at the wide end. Please see pictures on my photobucket (link below) http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a...az_nz/Axe/

Unfortunately it's been a long time since I've seen it, and can't remember where it was found. I have asked mum about it, and while she remembers the item, she can only guess where we picked it up. Possibilities so far are:
 - Alderley Edge
- Somewhere in the Goyt Valley
- Somewhere up in the Lakes District, or
- Somewhere up near Hadrian's Wall.

Not great I know, but it's a start.

If someone can shed some light on what I have, where it may have come from, or how old it is, that would be awesome.
