Description

Metal tool with 16-inch metal blade in a flattened loop shape. This tool is too large and has too light a shaft for scuffle weeding so it may have been used to smooth soil or gravel. Three-quarter inch flat blade is not sharp. Possibly a net bag was attached to loop so tool was used to harvest fruit.
