     Here is a Celtic ax, often called a palstave, that I found in the woods.  It is iron and fairly common as far as Celtic axes are concerned.  It is iron.  Celtic axes have a definite evolution from the earliest which is basically a bronze wedge to the socketed one shown below.  This variety is at least a thousand years old and probably much older.

Can anyone buy those anyplace or are they hoarded by the archaeologists? If you can buy them- what's a price?

    I imagine the archaeologists hoard a lot of these.  Probably they are put in a box in the back of some museum and never looked at again just like so many other things.
    I was just metal detecting in the woods on wonderful mountain and there it was about a foot deep.  As I recall it was a hot day and I worked up quite a sweat retrieving it.
    I don't think they are very expensive to buy as the one above is the most common type.  The private detectorists find such things and sell them to their contacts who in turn might sell them.
    Maybe Christian can give more information as to value.

This kind of reminds me of the last scene in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where everything gets boxed up -probably for eternity.
