Digging Tools.

These tools were used for digging. Some are small one hand tools fro digging roots, planting crops or just to loosen surface dirt. Others are large weighty two hand tools for heavier digging or for breaking up the blue clay that is so common in NE Ohio. The small hand tools show definate signs of being worked while the larger ones may have been used pretty much as found with just slight modification to maximize the grip.
